What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Survivors face innate challenges of self-worth that lead to numerous social & a economic barriers, affecting their long-term stability & employability. There is a critical lack of sustained economic and re-entry support for survivors. There is an acute need for economic stability. However, many have felony's on their record that make them unemployable. Many lack employable work experience and skill sets.

MadeForThem C.O.R.E. Academy

The C.O.R.E. Leadership Academy is an 18-month, non-residential, workforce academy for female survivors of human trafficking, domestic violence, sexual assault, abuse and trauma. The C.O.R.E. Leadership Academy’s trauma informed, client centered approach, provides students a safe healing space to grow and learn practical skills for a healthy life transition back into the community. The primary goal is to create an opportunity for CORE students to heal, be empowered, and become employed. The academy operates in a cohort model and is divided into two sections. The first 9 months focus on personal development and the second 9 months focus on professional development.

Case management is the central component in the provision of comprehensive victim-centered services to trafficking victims. The case manager performs multiple roles as point person, victim advocate, and facilitator of communication in order to help the victim navigate complex criminal justice and social service systems. Case management is one of the most vital services required by victims, as well as one of the most time-intensive, and is one of the strongest relationships with CORE Students or clients of Made For Them.
