RESEARCH Through the Human Trafficking Research and Data Advisory Roundtable (HT-RADAR), the CJR leads coordination of human trafficking research and an annual research conference that brings speakers and participants from all over to San Diego. ADVOCACY The CJR co-founded Churches Against Trafficking (CAT) as a network connecting Christian ministry leaders engaged in the anti-trafficking work in San Diego. CAT connects the Christian community with local direct service organizations, providing resources, volunteers, finances, and prayer for those caught up in human trafficking. INNOVATION The CJR created the Beauty for Ashes Scholarship Fund for survivors of human trafficking to pursue their college degree. This scholarship is providing hope for a better life for survivors all over the country. We believe it is stepping into what we do best- providing a college education in the nurturing environment of PLNU. The CJR is a part of the San Diego Prevention Collective, a prevention education community impact project that provides human trafficking prevention curriculum across our region to students of all ages. Our program, kNOw MORE, is an interactive, peer-to-peer, drama-based curriculum that reaches the hearts, minds, and imaginations of young people at risk. The CJR is leading the OnRamps Collaborative, a community impact project that is providing access to educational and vocational opportunities for survivors of trafficking. Based on the belief that a stable financial future will help survivors build a new life free from exploitation, the OnRamps Collaborative brings together partners from across the region. Flourish Academy empowers survivors to pursue their healing through the lens of emotional, spiritual, physical, social, intellectual, environmental, and financial health. We are excited to offer this first of its kind opportunity for survivors to gain important life skills as they build new futures free from exploitation.
