What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Resource Referral Program

THE CUPCAKE GIRLS HAS HUNDREDS OF RESOURCES IN OUR NETWORK AVAILABLE TO CLIENTS THROUGH OUR RESOURCE REFERRAL PROGRAM.

The Referral Program serves clients who have one or two particular needs by giving referrals to vetted, safe, and inclusive partners and resources who have agreed to see our clients pro-bono or at a reduced cost. These partners may be individuals or organizations in the community and include doctors, tax preparers, therapists, and parent and family resources.

Population(s) Served
Sex workers

THE ADVOCACY PROGRAM IS INTENDED FOR CLIENTS WITH MORE ROBUST GOALS.

In this program, clients meet weekly with an assigned Cupcake Girls Advocate who will collaborate to set and achieve S.M.A.R.T. (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, + Time-Based) goals, and connect clients with partners and resources. The Advocacy program assists with needs such as: domestic violence, sex trafficking, substance abuse, career development, and homelessness. This program on average lasts 6-9 months, but there is no end date. A client may work with our Advocacy program for as long as they need.

Population(s) Served

THE MENTORSHIP PROGRAM IS FOR CLIENTS WHO ARE INTERESTED IN AN ONGOING 1:1 CONNECTION AND SUPPORT SYSTEM.

The Mentorship Program is intended for clients who would like a support system and someone to talk to on a regular basis but who aren’t looking for resources/assistance with achieving goals. It is more centered on general personal and professional development than the Referral or Advocacy programs.

Population(s) Served

SUPPORT GROUPS PROVIDE A SPACE WHERE FOLKS ARE ABLE TO CONNECT WITH PEERS FOR SUPPORT AND COMMUNITY BUILDING.

Support groups offer peer support on a weekly, 90 minute basis. Support Groups are for clients of The Cupcake Girls and approved guests who are within the population we work with. Support groups are free.
