SURVIVORS TO ENTREPRENEURS
This program aims to provide survivors of human trafficking
with the resources and support needed to achieve economic empowerment.
All of our programming uses an Intensive Community Based Treatment (ICBT) model.
Lacking effective criminal relief legislation, Virginia and Delaware-based trafficking victims have a heightened vulnerability to re-victimization as many cannot attain gainful employment due to their past criminal convictions. With the Survivors to Entrepreneurs (S2E) program, we're aiming to change that.
