Youth Mentoring

Our approach to trafficking prevention is to pair young women and men with mentors who saturate them with a message of self-worth and hope. These interactions occur weekly after school at Compassion Youth Mentoring (CYM) events. We believe that positive mentoring relationships can increase resiliency in kids navigating incredibly difficult life circumstances. We also believe there are caring adults in the local church who have time and skills to share with those kids, and that everyone involved is transformed as a result!

Outreach Events

The Dress for FREEdom event is an opportunity to reach out to girls ages 12-18 who are currently living in foster care, shelters, or working with a DHS caseworker. The goal of this event is to connect with young girls at perhaps the most vulnerable time of their lives to tell and show them that they are incredibly valuable, uniquely created and deeply loved. Caring volunteers encourage them to become advocates with us on behalf of their at-risk friends, family and classmates.

“Words cannot express the gratitude I have for each of you that make AIG possible. The love and grace of God you have shown me has made all the difference for me. It gave me something to believe in, even when I couldn’t believe in myself."

-Rebekah, Human Trafficking Survivor

We believe the past doesn’t have to determine the future of someone who has been sexually exploited, so we rally together with other community groups and passionate volunteers to provide care and assistance that helps survivors become thrivers. Two of the ways we do this are through collaborative crisis prevention and training survivor mentors/advocates.

  • Collaborative Crisis Prevention
  • Survivor Advocacy and Resources

I needed to learn more about Jesus and how much he loves me and teach me how to love myself and be forgiven. I needed a mentor…a group of friends to guide me through my new walk. I needed counseling to dig deep and tools to live a healthy life to heal deep rooted issues that were left unresolved...”
