    Every year between 100,000 to 300,000 youth are at risk for falling victim to commercial sexual exploitation with the average age of entry between 12-14 years of age. The Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children (CSEC) is a form of sexual abuse by adults in which sexual services are exchanged for money, goods or services to the child or a third person (i.e. a pimp). CSEC may include prostitution, pornography, stripping, etc. It is a form of modern day slavery. STARS (Surviving Together, Achieving and Reaching for Success), is a program for teen girls between the ages of 12-17 involved with commercial sexual exploitation and domestic trafficking. STARS provides support to empower the youth to escape sexual exploitation by developing their inner strengths, building a sense of community and supporting their reintegration into mainstream society. The program meets once a week for a minimum of 12 weeks and provides participants with independent living skills, individual/group counseling utilizing the “My Life My Choice Curriculum©”, recreational opportunities, case management and expressive art therapy. In addition, the program provides young women with: * Facilitated community referrals for school, health, job placement, etc. * Assistance in obtaining identification and legal documents, for example California ID, Birth Certificate and Social Security Card * Transportation * Dinner and snacks at each group * Incentives for attending program * Childcare for parenting teens * Graduation ceremony and certificate of completion If you would like to get involved through volunteering or fundraising for this organization, I am happy to connect you with them! During my time with them, I have helped raise over $8,500 in donations that go directly to programming for the girls.
