GG2122514 - Reintegrating Survivors of Sexual Exploitation and Sex Trafficking APPROVED!
The project will expand the services that are currently being provided to victims of human trafficking by establishing a training and reintegration center in Grandview, Missouri, to provide job skills training to survivors committed to restoration and reintegration after exiting a sexual exploitation or human trafficking situation. We will use our vocation and experience to volunteer to train, mentor and coach survivors.
By connecting survivors with vocational training opportunities, life skills training, and access to mentors and resources, we decrease the likelihood that they will be re-exploited in the future. Survivors will have the opportunity to develop life and parenting skills, complete a high school diploma and online vocational certification, and learn financial budgeting and retail/customer service skills. The training center will include a boutique that will sell slightly used high-end clothing that is donated by Rotarians and current Rended Heart supporters. In the boutique, survivors will have on-the-job training in retail sales, marketing, financial management, inventory, customer service, and business management.
