About Teen Ambassadors of Hope
Teen Ambassadors of Hope (TAoH) is a youth leadership program by Texas Advocacy Project (TAP) designed to educate, empower, and activate teens across Texas to prevent teen dating violence and promote healthy relationships. Participants receive training, build awareness in their communities, and lead creative peer-to-peer fundraisers that directly support survivors of abuse through TAP’s free legal and social services.
Your Impact
Every day, we meet Texans who have done everything right—reported the abuse, documented the threats, and sought safety—yet still can’t secure justice because they can’t afford an attorney. A free lawyer can mean the difference between safety and continued abuse, stability and homelessness, silence and justice.
In 2025, we served 14,042 survivors and their children across Texas, but the need continues to grow.
The funds raised by our Teen Ambassadors are critical because they are unrestricted. Unlike many grants with limitations, these funds allow us to act quickly, close critical gaps, and ensure no one is left waiting for the legal help they need. Your support turns generosity into safety and justice for survivors.
About Texas Advocacy Project
Texas Advocacy Project (TAP) works to end dating and domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, stalking, and human trafficking in Texas. TAP empowers survivors through free legal and social services, as well as access to the justice system, and raises awareness through public outreach and education. Our attorneys, staff, volunteers, and Board of Directors are dedicated to our vision of a future where all Texans live free from abuse.
Established in 1982 by a group of young lawyers, TAP started as a legal hotline. In the decades since, they have evolved into an expert on legal issues affecting survivors. TAP’s comprehensive approach addresses both the legal and social needs of survivors. They offer a statewide legal line, free civil legal services, and social services tailored to survivors’ unique challenges. TAP’s solutions provide both immediate protection and long-term stability, including protective orders, termination of abusers’ parental rights, and child custody modifications. They also assist with civil legal matters that can impact abuse cases, such as housing, employment, education, and financial empowerment. Texas Advocacy Project serves all Texans.
