GEMS hits the road!

The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention awarded GEMS two, multi-year contracts to train both community members and law enforcement on CSEC. Using our highly rated  (CSEC) Community Intervention Project curriculum, GEMS will conduct Training Institutes in Multnomah County, Oregon; Alameda County in California; with Kristi House in Miami, Fl.

We have also been funded to work with the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Forces (ICAC) to help identify ways in which the internet helps facilitate CSEC and how to effectively intervene. We will be in five regions of the country over the next two years.

And last but not least, through the Office of Victims of Crime, GEMS will develop a program manual based on our expertise in service provision to CSEC survivors, and provide training and technical assistance to ten partners in five cities around the nation.

We thank our funders for their recognition of our hard work and commitment to empowering young women and girls who’ve experienced CSEC and domestic trafficking!
