Reclaim13
Reclaim13 works to free children from sexual exploitation. 13 is believed to be the average age of entry into the commercial sex trafficking industry. Reclaim13's goal is to "reclaim" a child's right to grow up feeling safe, loved, and free from harm.
Reclaim13's ministry focuses on three areas:
1. Prevention
- Community Education and Awareness - Partnering with community organizations to educate and raise awareness of child exploitation and trafficking.
- Prevention of Abuse and Child Exploitation (PACE) - Teaching partents and children the necessary skills to identify, avoid, and handle high risk situations that could lead to abuse and exploitation.
- The Path - a video created to show the most common tactics a predator uses to manipulate young people.
2. Healing
- Cherish House - Reclaim13's safe house for girls between the ages of 10-17 who are escaping sex trafficking. As a long-term, trauma-informed, residential treatment facility, the house provides physical safety and a loving environment where the girls are supported by experienced staff as they gain the skills they need to live a life beyond exploitation.
- Mentorship - Program for boys, girls, men and women that have been victims of trafficking and exploitation, who need a community of support to begin a new life.
