Presentations and Town Halls

Project Promise puts a spotlight on those issues that impact you and your family the most. Sometimes we apply that focus through a town hall or in private presentations

 to church groups, and other organizations. If your group or organization would like to book a free multi-media  presentation please email us portageprojectpromise@gmail.com.  

Here is a list of our presentations.  Most of our presentations are 30 to 45 minutes in length. We have other presentations that are 5 to 10 minutes.  In most cases we can adjust a presentation specific to your needs.

Property Tax Town Hall - TBA.  Ohio property values have increased dramatically over the past several years. For Portage County, we are seeing an increase on average of about 33%. What does this mean for you?  https://projectpromiseportage.com/pressing-issues

Living in the age of A.I.  Artificial intelligence offers incredible benefits, such as automating tasks, enhancing decision-making, and driving innovation, but it also raises concerns like ethical dilemmas, potential job displacement, and biases in decision-making.  https://projectpromiseportage.com/living-in-the-age-of-a-i

Forgotten Black History- We are one nation equal under God.  Media often spotlight  Black history overshadowing the untold stories rooted in American values and principles. Join us in celebrating those individuals often overlooked and their accurate historical significance.   

Silhouettes Exhibit:

Teaming with WonderSprouts Media, the Breaking Chains Silhouettes exhibit represents the children still in the shadows of sexual abuse.  These children don't have a voice so we become their voice through child size wooden silhouettes with  facts dispelling the myths of human trafficking adhered to them.  Sometimes this exhibit is performed with live actors like our 2022 event with White Lotus Kung Fu.  https://whitelotuswarrior.com/

 Perpetrators silence their victims through intimidation, manipulation, coercion, threats, and blame in order to maintain power and control. These emotional manipulations are as powerful as handcuffs. These are the metaphoric change that bind.

 The victimization of children doesn't happen in a vacuum. Our society commercializes, desensitizes, and normalizes the sexualization of children every day. From advertising, current music trends, or social media, we are a culture putting our children at risk. When society doesn't call out these exploitative methods, it desensitizes our culture, and it helps sexual predators feel embolden. It shows victims no one will stand up for them or help, or worse it's suggest their sexual abuse is normal.
