DIRECT CARE PROGRAMS
support requests
The Cupcake Girls has two main physical locations, one in Las Vegas, Nevada and one in Portland, Oregon. The majority of our resource networks and advocacy offerings are tied to these locations.
If you are located outside of Nevada or Oregon/SW Washington, we will do our best to help you identify your goal and take steps toward it while navigating community resources in your area.
By proceeding with this support request, you are acknowledging that you understand the above information.
The Cupcake Girls support requests are closed.
Our programs are full, and we are unable to take on new participants at this time. When this happens, we’re focused on building our capacity to welcome more participants soon while ensuring we’re fully supporting those already in our programs.
There are still ways we can support you:
Support Groups: Our free support groups offer a safe, welcoming space to connect with others who understand. These groups meet regularly and cover various topics based on community needs.
Free Store: Our Free Store remains open, offering access to essential items at no cost. Whether you need clothing, hygiene supplies, or household basics, we’re here to help.
Financial Grants: Limited financial grants are available to assist with urgent needs. While availability is based on funding, we encourage you to reach out to learn more about current options.
To ask about these opportunities. Please reach out to: admin@thecupcakegirls.org
REFERRAL PROGRAM
THE CUPCAKE GIRLS HAS HUNDREDS OF RESOURCES IN OUR NETWORK AVAILABLE TO PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS THROUGH OUR REFERRAL PROGRAM.
The Referral Program serves program participants who have one or two particular needs by giving referrals to vetted, safe, and inclusive partners and resources who have agreed to see our program participants pro-bono or at a reduced cost. These partners may be individuals or organizations in the community and include doctors, tax preparers, therapists, and parent and family resources.
ADVOCACY PROGRAM
THE ADVOCACY PROGRAM IS INTENDED FOR PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS WITH MORE ROBUST GOALS.
In this program, program participants meet weekly with an assigned Cupcake Girls Advocate who will collaborate to set and achieve S.M.A.R.T. (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, + Time-Based) goals, and connect program participants with partners and resources. The Advocacy program assists with needs such as: domestic violence, sex trafficking, substance abuse, career development, and homelessness.
MENTORSHIP PROGRAM
THE MENTORSHIP PROGRAM IS FOR PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS WHO ARE INTERESTED IN AN ONGOING 1:1 CONNECTION AND SUPPORT SYSTEM.
The Mentorship Program is intended for program participants who would like a support system and someone to talk to on a regular basis but who aren’t looking for resources/assistance with achieving goals. It is more centered on general personal and professional development than the Referral or Advocacy programs.
SUPPORT GROUPS
SUPPORT GROUPS PROVIDE A SPACE WHERE FOLKS ARE ABLE TO CONNECT WITH PEERS FOR SUPPORT AND COMMUNITY BUILDING.
Support groups offer peer support on a weekly, 90 minute basis. Support Groups are for program participants of The Cupcake Girls and approved guests who are within the population we work with. Support groups are free.
