Get Involved in the Anti-Trafficking Movement
We believe that solutions to ending trafficking and exploitation are the work of everyone, and that we are all stronger when we support each other. For 2025, in our final grant cycle, we provided funds for these six organizations, each of which forms part of an ecosystem helping to prevent sex trafficking and exploitation of children and youth, and creating paths for healing and empowerment for survivors. We encourage you to connect with these organizations to learn how you can get more involved, help power their missions, and contribute to building a world where children are loved and safe. Here are some immediate ways you can help.
Scarlet Road
Through holistic care, Scarlet Road offers the hope of freedom to those who have been sexually exploited.
Get involved with Scarlet Road!
Scarlet Road's Restoring Hope Gala at Olympic College is right around the corner! We are so excited to share the stories of survivors and system change Scarlet Road is impacting this year. We welcome event sponsors and guests to share this evening of live music, auction items, and learning with us.
We are in need of volunteers, particularly mentors for clients in Kitsap County. Our upcoming volunteer training on June 14 is an opportunity to do a deep dive into the realities of exploitation in our community and become equipped to serve.
Scarlet Road is celebrating our monthly donors this year! The diversity of sustainable funding monthly donors contribute to our work is invaluable, and we hope to welcome 25 new monthly donors this spring.

FYRE: Foundation for Youth Resilience and Engagement
FYRE offer services to ensure underserved youth, ages 12-24, have their needs met in four main areas: 1) education, 2) physical and mental health, 3) basic needs and 4) resiliency programming.
Get involved with FYRE!
FYRE needs funds for new flooring – our floors were never completely done when we moved into the building so we have offices with gaps in flooring
We always need flexible funds to support undocumented youth, especially now – these young people are at high risk for sex and labor trafficking
We appreciate social support and solidarity: if you are person who is actively impacting decisions in food, housing, civil rights, immigration, education, and behavioral health and prevention programs, please think of BIPOC organizations in rural communities and how you might be able to help through that work
REST: Real Escape from the Sex Trade
REST offers holistic, survivor-centered services, seeking to walk alongside survivors of sex trafficking no matter where they are in their healing journey.
Get involved with REST!
Donate some items for survivors: Gather some new or gently used Summer clothes or host a drive for hair care products. Please gather items for all sizes and hair types.
Volunteer at our monthly Volunteer Serve Day: The next opportunity is on May 30th from 10:00-12:00.
