Victim, Survivor, Leader™: GEMS Program Model of Empowerment

 

GEMS is excited to announce its FIRST Webinar Series!

 Victim, Survivor, Leader™: GEMS Program Model of Empowerment

For over 17 years, Girls Educational and Mentoring Services (GEMS) has provided comprehensive holistic services to commercially sexually exploited (CSE) and domestically trafficked girls and young women.  As awareness has increased around the issue of CSE, we’ve seen shifts in legislation, advocacy, services, awareness and community involvement.  As the movement changes and grows, our foundational principles and core values remain the same: Survivor Leadership and Transformational Relationships, to provide the framework for effective programming and ongoing engagement. These core values serve as fundamental guidelines for best practices when serving commercially sexually exploited and trafficked youth. 

This webinar series is designed for service providers that already have a working knowledge of the issue. Attend the entire series, or participate in what best serves your needs.
