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.
