"Your journey has molded you for your greater good,
and it was exactly what it needed to be.
Don't think that you've lost time.
It took each and every situation you have encountered 
to bring you to the now.
And NOW is RIGHT ON TIME."

Purchased, Human Trafficking Awareness

Purchased is a local non-profit that fights human trafficking in the area by raising awareness through events and education.  To find it's mission and more information visit the website, purchased.org.

I was trained to facilitate the Empowering Youth Curriculum, and am excited to soon begin teaching it at high schools in the area.  

 

Purchased is also trained to teach is My Life, My Choice. It is a 10-session course for adolescent females. Geared toward at risk or former victims of trafficking it covers topics such as reducing risks of exploitation, developing self esteem, and sexual health.

 

Purchased is looking for more places to teach both these courses at and would love to hear from more organizations in the area. These services would be free of charge.  Further questions can be sent to Jessica Thorne at jessica@purchased.org.
