Program accomplishments

  • Awaken's Restorative Care program represents the largest component of the organization's services, providing comprehensive, trauma-informed support to individuals impacted by commercial sexual exploitation and trafficking. Services are delivered in a location situated within a high-need area known for elevated levels of prostitution activity, allowing for increased accessibility to those most vulnerable. Awaken serves both youth and adults, ranging in age from 11 to over 60 years old. Core services include individualized case management, referrals to licensed therapeutic providers, mentorship, social development opportunities, and psychoeducational and life skills programming designed to support long-term stability and healing. (Continued on Schedule O)During the most recent fiscal year, Awaken provided services to 243 primary participants and 29 secondary participants.The Awaken Education Center (AEC) was established during the 2020 school year. The AEC is a specialized, holistic, education and restorative school experience for youth who have been trafficked encompassing grades 6-12. Between July 1, 2024 and June 30, 2025 two girls attended the Awaken Education Center (AEC), contributing to a total of 20 students served since inception. As noted above, Awaken launched a summer healing and resilience program which served 14 participants and 7 children over a 10-week period.

  • In 2019, Awaken launched the Awaken Restorative Home to provide a safe, rent-free residential program for adult female survivors of sex trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation. Since its inception, the program has served fifteen women, offering trauma-informed support and stability in a healing-focused environment. In the current tax year, Awaken strategically repurposed the Restorative Home to meet an emerging need by prioritizing services for pregnant and parenting mothers affected by trafficking. This shift reflects Awaken's continued commitment to breaking the generational cycle of exploitation by providing family-centered, holistic care.(Continued on Schedule O)In January 2025, Awaken welcomed its first family into the Restorative Home under this expanded model, marking a significant milestone in providing supportive, stable housing for both mothers and their children
