OUTREACH & EDUCATION PROGRAM: PROVIDING COMMUNITY EDUCATION ABOUT THE NUANCES BETWEEN SEX WORK AND SEX TRAFFICKING, THE OUTREACH AND COMMUNITY EDUCATION PROGRAM CULTIVATES PARTNERSHIPS AND TRAINING SESSIONS WITH FIRST RESPONDERS AND SEEKS TO IDENTIFY AND ENROLL THE MOST VULNERABLE PARTICIPANTS INTO OUR PROGRAMMING. OUTREACH ALSO INCORPORATES OUR FREE STORE ONCE PER MONTH, WHICH WELCOMES INDIVIDUALS INTO THE OFFICE SPACE TO ACCESS ITEMS SUCH AS HYGIENE KITS, HARM REDUCTION SUPPLIES, SEXUAL WELLNESS ITEMS INCLUDING EMERGENCY CONTRACEPTION, AND PERSONAL CARE ITEMS.

RESOURCE REFERRAL PROGRAM: THROUGH OUR REFERRAL PROGRAM, WE CONNECT PARTICIPANTS TO OUR EXTENSIVE NETWORK OF OVER 200 VETTED, SAFE, AND INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND RESOURCES. THESE PARTNERS HAVE COMMITTED TO PROVIDING SERVICES PRO BONO OR AT REDUCED RATES FOR PARTICIPANTS WITH SPECIFIC GOALS. WE INITIATE SIGNED MEMORANDUMS OF UNDERSTANDING WITH PARTNERS THAT OUTLINE STANDARDS OF CARE AND CONFIDENTIALITY. OUR NETWORK INCLUDES DOCTORS, TAX PREPARERS, THERAPISTS, PARENT AND FAMILY RESOURCES, AND MUCH MORE. TYPICALLY, A PARTICIPANT WILL ENROLL IN THIS PROGRAM FOR 2-3 WEEKS.

ADVOCACY PROGRAM: PARTICIPANTS WITH MORE SIGNIFICANT GOALS ARE ASSIGNED AN ADVOCATE AS PART OF OUR ADVOCACY PROGRAM. THESE ADVOCATES ASSIST PARTICIPANTS IN SETTING AND ACHIEVING S.M.A.R.T. GOALS (SPECIFIC, MEASURABLE, ACHIEVABLE, RELEVANT, TIME-BASED), CONNECTING THEM WITH OUR VETTED PARTNERS TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL HOLISTIC CARE AND SUPPORT AS NEEDED. THE ADVOCACY PROGRAM ADDRESSES VARIOUS ISSUES SUCH AS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, SEX TRAFFICKING, SUBSTANCE ABUSE, CAREER DEVELOPMENT, AND HOUSING. THE PROGRAM DURATION TYPICALLY RANGES FROM SIX TO NINE MONTHS, BUT WE REMAIN COMMITTED TO SUPPORTING PARTICIPANTS UNTIL THEY BECOME SELF-SUFFICIENT AND EXPERIENCE A MORE FULFILLING LIFE. WE DO NOT EXIT PARTICIPANTS FROM OUR PROGRAM UNLESS THEY MAKE THE DECISION TO MOVE ON.
