Through volunteerism and speaking engagements, Jim has shared openly about his journey and used his platform as a public figure to be an inspiration to those affected by abuse. His hope is that survivors will be empowered to come out of the darkness and find the path to healing. With the launch of his new book, Jim Bartko recently created a new scholarship at the University of Oregon College of Education, the Jimmy Bartko Scholarship Fund. This fund is dedicated to students at the College of Education who choose to go into fields such as Counseling Psychology, Couples & Family Therapy and Family & Human Services, fields that are on the front lines of working with survivors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e460f949c592c33494c6972/1583298185798-LFNQ8YT4E5Z3QA0740AX/West+-+Boys+and+Girls+Club+3+4.2.19+copy.jpg Scholarship - “The best way to support children and reduce the negative experiences they have is to make them feel normal and safe – and know they aren’t alone and won’t be treated differently just because they finally told the truth. We need to believe them, and work faster…” — High School Student, Oregon Child Abuse Prevalence Study https://www.boyinthemirror.com/resources daily 0.75 2021-03-21 https://www.boyinthemirror.com/book daily 0.75 2021-03-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e460f949c592c33494c6972/1616298715664-6AZSJJQX1KOLD4LB89IG/cover_art.jpeg The Book - “Boy in the Mirror” is a rare, heartfelt, timely memoir that breaks new ground on a subject that’s shaming such stalwart institutes as the Roman Catholic Church and the Boy Scouts of America. As an associate athletic director for 20 years, Jim Bartko helped drive the University of Oregon's innovative athletic program to unprecedented levels of success. Among his key responsibilities? Being a liaison to super donor Phil Knight. Meanwhile, though, he harbored a secret that nobody knew but two other people — his best friend and the Catholic priest who sexually abused them both when they were children. When, after forty-four years, Bartko finally went public with his story, he was lauded for his courage by many, particularly those who’d experienced childhood sexual abuse themselves. But within a year he’d lost his job as athletic director at Fresno State and been served with divorce papers. Bartko’s story is one of tragedy and triumph. And as much as the sports-loving author regrets his past, he has emerged on the national scene as an advocate for those who’ve lived through the same pain he has, reminding readers: “I bat last.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e460f949c592c33494c6972/1616299154067-2YNYIO22C94QH5NOP25H/Bob.smiling.2018.mug_-247x300.jpg The Book - Bob Welch https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e460f949c592c33494c6972/1583272946063-Z9X4B4YETTD1QVFVLJWX/Unknown-3.jpeg The Book https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e460f949c592c33494c6972/1583272897944-9VH5S7P5FQZ4OEENMOF6/Unknown-6.jpeg The Book https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e460f949c592c33494c6972/1583943020936-95SJNWXGAF2YESZ5FFVM/JotNot_03-11-2020-1.jpg The Book https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e460f949c592c33494c6972/1583272879201-XO7T3UAUGQHXGAHT0YOS/DE31A2E8-8287-41DC-A31D-FF038FB2CC30.JPG The Book https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e460f949c592c33494c6972/1583272915382-A7BAHF7BPAH9TKOA3LKM/Unknown-10.jpeg The Book https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e460f949c592c33494c6972/1583272916086-EFLPX5HNH2YCHPOM1DY3/Unknown-1.png The Book https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e460f949c592c33494c6972/1583272940530-B5MR87GUB2MR25N69ST6/Unknown.png The Book https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e460f949c592c33494c6972/1583272936814-4J1BOT75WPPJR60QLJTZ/Unknown-5.jpeg The Book https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e460f949c592c33494c6972/1583532757600-H7AZAL73JU4LDCMCHEOL/Unknown-11.jpg The Book https://www.boyinthemirror.com/timeline daily 0.75 2021-03-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e460f949c592c33494c6972/1616298434679-Y5KQFSQGWPYX75GPL5RU/100409-kiesle-vmed-1115a.grid-4x2.jpg Father Kiesle Timeline - Timeline of defrocked priest Stephen Kiesle By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS 1972: Ordained at St. Francis De Sales, Oakland. 1972-1975: Associate pastor at St. Joseph’s Church in Pinole. 1975-1978: Assigned to Our Lady of the Rosary in Union City.
