GRACE is a 501(c)(3) non-profit in San Diego working to support, empower, and provide services to trafficked, exploited, and at-risk youth. We offer weekly community groups, meals, transportation, mentorship, therapeutic art sessions, trauma-informed yoga, field trips, internships, education support, resource referrals, and more! We adapt our programs and offerings to meet the needs of local survivors and their children. Over the past 7 years we have been able to serve hundreds of youth with the support of our community and look forward to continuing to serve this vulnerable and worthy population.Rise Above is our biggest fundraiser of the year to support our mission and local impact in San Diego! The support we are able to gain from this event is what makes it possible for us to provide the meals and safe transportation to survivors, offer childcare for our GRACE littles (our youth's children), and connect girls with job and interview training as well as trauma informed workspaces.
We are an entirely donation-based organization, so everything we do is an overflow of what starts with you saying yes to fighting against child exploitation by empowering and supporting survivors and their children.
This year Rise Above is special. Our fundraising will go into launching our GRACE Refuge program -- the first and only youth parent-survivor safe housing program in San Diego. Through the refuge, youth will be able to live with their children in a trauma-informed space specifically designed for survivor needs. Many children who have been exploited first had exploited or trafficked parents. Our hope is that the next generation will have a different story.
