Mission & Vision
Catch the Wave of Hope has a mission to prevent the sexual exploitation and trafficking of children through awareness and education, while providing restoration to survivors.
Our vision is to be an empowering voice and defender of those who are experiencing or have overcome sexual exploitation.
What Is Child Sex Trafficking?
According to the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act of 2000, child sex trafficking is, "the act of recruiting, harboring, transporting, providing, obtaining, patronizing, soliciting a child for commercial sex, including prostitution and the production of child pornography".
What many people don't understand is the psychological and emotional abuse that takes place between a trafficker and his or her victims. The long-term effects of being trafficked are diverse and severe. It is critical that our communities understand the need for appropriate (specialized) services to help survivors restore their lives and that we take action by ensuring that our communities are equipped with the tools necessary to help them on their healing journey.
The Truth About Trafficking
Awareness Video
Human trafficking probably isn't what you think and that's why you need to know the TRUTH.
This video was created to share the truth about human trafficking and to educate children and adults on the methods used in today's world to lure children. We also share ways to keep yourself and your family safe and what to do if you know someone that might be in trouble.
Our Services
We collaborate with other service providers to prevent the duplication of services and to fill gaps in services that are not currently available to survivors. We take a trauma-informed, survivor-centered approach to everything that we do and we build our organization based on feedback from the community and those we serve.
