Awaken conducts outreach and provides direct services to women and girls to help them transition out of commercial sexual exploitation (CSE). Nearly all victims served by Awaken have had a history of emotional, physical, or sexual abuse. We help program participants with long-term and emergency needs including basic outreach, mentorship services, counseling, transitional housing, transportation, financial aid for college, legal and medical assistance, drop-in center, and much more.
In January 2016, Awaken, with the support from caring community partners, opened the Awaken Drop-in Center, located off of 4th and Spokane St, a hot spot for trafficking, prostitution and CSE. Purposefully located, Awaken is removing barriers and increasing accessibility to its programs and services. The center serves individuals' basic and critical needs, including case management, education, counseling, mentoring, food and clothing. We aim to be a place of safety by being a consistent presence that provides immediate tangible needs and resources offerings help and hope.
