What we do
MISSSEY works to prevent girls and gender-expansive youth from ever entering circumstances of sexual exploitation and violence. We also support young people who are experiencing exploitation to exit. Once they’ve exited, we partner with them so that they may avoid re-entering sexually exploitative circumstances and live free of harmful transactional relationships. Using a holistic, healing-centered approach, we help youth process their abuse and understand their inherent worth as important, unique, and powerful human beings deserving of safety, love and joy.

testimonials
MISSSEY gave me a place to be in the day to attend workshops, learn, have fun, interact and rest if I needed to all in a positive place with good energy especially with the other girls. I could use the computer and finish things I needed to do and also get incentives like stipends for the workshops. I could get my hygiene products, and I got to come 2 times per week and get stipends.Youth Program Participant

MISSSEY gives help and hope to young women so they are no longer involved in sex trafficking.Mimi, Retired Teacher and Former Director of Cal-SAFE
Before I came to MISSSEY, I was out on the street and didn’t have anything to do with my life. But now that I have MISSSEY, I have something to do with my life and I love MISSSEY for that.Youth program participant
