HOPE INSPIRE LOVE
Empowering Survivors of Sex Trafficking to Flourish & Thrive
Hope Inspire Love is an anti-human trafficking nonprofit that exists to eradicate human trafficking and sexual exploitation in our community. We provide awareness, prevention and education, advocacy, Social Enterprise job-skills training, and our flagship Hope Mentorship Program for at-risk teens, young adults, and survivors of sex trafficking.
Hope Inspire Love fights sex trafficking and sexual exploitation in four strategic ways:
Trauma-Informed Mentorship for Trafficking Survivors
Hope Inspire Love provides trauma-informed mentorship services that establish supportive relationships with at-risk teens, young adults, and survivors of sex trafficking. Our mentors journey with survivors each step of the way through a long-term solution, and the program is tailored to each young woman’s needs. Hope Mentorship Program’s main focus is to walk alongside a young woman in her day-to-day life, providing support, encouragement, goal setting, and modeling healthy relationships.
Social Enterprise Job-Skills Training
Our Social Enterprise Job Skills Training Program provides survivors in our Hope Mentorship Program with meaningful employment leading to financial freedom. This process is an instrumental stage in the healing journey and provides gateway jobs for the women we serve and provide an entrepreneurial income to fund our mission. This job skill training program allows those we serve newfound strength, hard and soft skills, and financial entrepreneurship initiatives to flourish and thrive in restoration.
Prevention Education & Training
We educate and train individuals, churches, schools, law enforcement, and professionals in the healthcare industry about human trafficking and sexual exploitation. We also create resources and curricula that equip people with information to prevent sex trafficking from ever happening in the first place.
Outreach & Awareness Initiatives & Advocacy
We strive to shift the culture by amplifying the voice of the voiceless with powerful messages through video, training, events, trafficking simulations and exhibits, digital media, and the written word. Through communication opportunities, we endeavor to provide different mediums to explore human trafficking and shed light on the issue of this criminal injustice.
Hope Inspire Love also partners with intervention-effort operations, organizations, and agencies that help direct survivors to safe environments and restoration aftercare programs.
We believe that Freedom Starts with You! Through your generosity, you are providing life-changing opportunities and transformation in our community here in Lancaster and beyond.
