Journey Out is a Los Angeles-based nonprofit leading the fight for the freedom and survival of all those whose lives have been destroyed by sex trafficking or commercial sexual exploitation.
Our mission is to help victims of commercial sexual exploitation and sex trafficking leave a life of abuse and violence, overcome their fears, and empower them to reach their full potential and achieve their goals.
Fully committed to and believing in the incredible resilience of survivors and marginalized populations, we maintain a diverse staff, half of whom are survivors themselves. This creates a powerful model and bond between our staff and clients, who are able to walk and grow alongside someone who can relate to their lived experience on a deeper level.
Journey Out Programs and Services include:
- law enforcement crisis response
- providing emergency housing, food, and clothing
- art therapy
- clinical counseling
- legal referrals
- job training
- Prostitution Diversion Program – court-approved diversion programming as an alternative to incarceration
- domestic minor sex trafficking prevention programming
- direct street outreach to those in the Life
- community/agency education and training
Every person Journey Out has served is not only an individual success story, but also serves as a testament to the contribution we make to the fabric of our communities and the much-needed movement to end sexual exploitation.
