Baby Bucks
The Hope Clinic is a private, non-profit organization that awards Baby Bucks for a variety of educational opportunities, both within and outside of our office. All participants must be a Hope Clinic client before receiving or redeeming Baby Bucks. Baby Bucks are redeemable for cribs, car seats and crib mattresses, as well as a wide variety of other items.
Baby Bucks can be earned in the following ways:
Videos
The Hope Clinic offers videos that you may watch in our office. Our videos cover a variety of topics, ranging from pre-natal development to parenting skills. Please ask to see our video list.
Workbook
There are no right or wrong answers in this workbook—it just helps us get to know you, and helps you take a good look at some of the challenges you may be facing. You will flll out a workbook on your own and bring it back to The Hope Clinic for review with one of our volunteers. The workbook, titled "The Me I See—Learning to Know Myself," is worth three Baby Bucks when you complete it and review with a Hope Center volunteer.
Pamphlets
The Hope Clinic offers a wide variety of pamphlets that you may read. Each pamphlet that you read and write a two-page (school-size paper 8 1/2" x 11") report on is worth two Baby Bucks. Reports must be hand written. Less than two full pages will be worth one Baby Buck. Reports less than 1 1/2 pages are not eligible for our program.
