The Hope Project
http://www.hopeprojectusa.org/Volunteer Opportunities: Yes
History
The Hope Project began in 2005 as an outreach program to educate and inform the community about the issue of human trafficking. The more we learned and the more we became aware of the prevalence of this issue, we soon asked the question, who takes care of these children? What happens to the young women who are removed from prostitution? What treatment is available to help them overcome this life of pain and agony they have suffered? Lacking any satisfactory answers to these questions, we decided to provide an answer.
Mission
To raise awareness of human trafficking and to bring restoration and healing from its effects
Vision
To continually improve and expand our rehabilitative programs so every trafficked child has access to appropriate aftercare services
