Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

Through prevention, survivor care, and community transformation programs - For the Silent works to end sex trafficking and exploitation by empowering the voices of vulnerable and exploited youth.

  • FTS's Survivor Care program directly assists sex trafficking survivors by providing legal advocacy, emotional support, emergency and long-term housing coordination, and service referrals. Our main goal with Survivor Care is the relationship itself which has been found to help keep clients engaged with other service providers in the community, support clients to participate or remain accessible for law enforcement investigations, and most importantly, help clients stay safe and work toward recovery. Survivor care and advocacy was provided to 58 trafficking victims and 2 traffickers were prosecuted.

    Expenses $182,075

  • I Have A Voice is an outreach and prevention program reaching teen girls most vulnerable to commercial sexual exploitation. The program reaches high risk youth in juvenile detention centers, child advocacy centers, schools, and low-income housing with powerful prevention education and long term mentorship. IHAV identifies and addresses the vulnerabilities which put youth at-risk to trafficker recruitment and helps champion their voices throughout their adolescence. The IHAV program had 210 group graduates. In addition, 1,996 teens received awareness education, 97 juvenile detention youth were reached, and there were 19 Thrive summer internship participants.

  • The Community Transformation program strives to change culture's mindsets by providing professional in depth training to law enforcement, medical professionals, group home staff, pregnancy resource centers, school staff, child advocacy centers, and other social service providers. The program also includes a coordinated community response team made up of law enforcement, medical, mental health, child welfare services, juvenile justice services and other organizations who work together to grow the community's capacity to serve victims of sex trafficking. The Community Transformation program provided training to 512 community members and 90 service providers.
