Not-For-Profit Organization: A Case Study

Rehabilitation for victims is available such as Freedom Place and Dream Center. Joy Friedman, a survivor of 27 years of sex trafficking in the United States, now serves as women’s program manager at Breaking Free, a Minnesota nonprofit group that helps women and children escape that world. On average, sex trafficking victims are between 12 and 14. It is estimated that between 100,000 and 300,000 U.S. children are sex slaves. Providing care for these victims is very important, their self-esteem is completely demolished and don’t know where to begin to fix themselves.

A semi-detailed business overview of the non-profit organization known as the YMCA or Young Men’s Christian Association is discussed. A brief history of the origins of the company is detailed along with the definition or explanation of the company’s mission statement. The organization’s basic legal, social, and economic environment is described. Likewise the YMCA’s management structure, operational issues, as well as financial issues are discussed. Lastly, the possible impact that potential change factors, which includes the role of technology, can present to the YMCA business organization are discussed.

Considering Trafficking is not only in the United States, but all over the world, there are multiple organizations that are willing to help. These organizations are either helping victims that have already been affected or are still in the human trafficking business. One in particular organization is in the Dominican Republic. The organization, SCORE International, was founded nearly thirty years ago and has impacted many people through short term mission trips (“Ministries”). There are missionaries that live on campus and all over the Dominican Republic (“Ministries”). SCORE has many areas of ministry, but the ministry that is involved with human trafficking is called the Lily House.

Currently, the Resource Center has a hotline to call if someone has been enslaved or trafficked. The Research Center has already rescued heaps of Americans subject to slavery. This underground railroad rescues hundreds of people daily and prepares them for new lives and provides them with as much help as needed to get on their feet. In an article written by Deseret News Utah, it states, “We spend a lot of time reaching out to labor rights, immigration, sexual assault and domestic violence organizations trying to find someone to help our victims," (Stuart, Elizabeth). This illustrates that there are abounding organizations and people out there to assist and rescue those subject to trafficking, just as in the 1800’s there was a large network of people to aid those in need of help and the various innocent Americans on the run from the undeserving slavery they had endured and were yet to endure. In short, there are currently countless organizations to help fight human trafficking and slavery today creating a modern underground railroad of sorts.

Regardless of “the growing recognition that human trafficking is an important national and global issue, little empirical research containing primary data has been published.” However, there are many that are passionate about this horrific matter and are determined to make a difference. For instance, the Fraser Health Authority is establishing a way that will help health workers identify signs of human trafficking. Their new program is called ‘Help, Don’t Hinder’ and helps workers identify signs of abuse in victims, specific injuries, certain living situations, “long work hours, and a lack of money, documents or permanent homes.” Many times the victim is unable to ask for help. A victim may look like an average everyday worker, customer, or person passing by on the street. This is why the most beneficial thing that one can do to help is to recognize the signs of human trafficking and know how to help. Not only this, but have the bravery to reach out to someone and give them the aid and support that they need. This program is expected to raise awareness over the next three years and increase research as well as legislative responses. All social workers throughout America should follow this example to help raise their awareness so they know when they see this issue happening around them, and help raise awareness in

Even in the land of the free, there are millions of people oppressed through human trafficking. The problem has not been addressed properly to citizens of America, and tends to be overlooked by many. This article will educate one on a variety of topics, regarding human trafficking in America through peer-reviewed research evidence. The first topic focused on is about who the victims are, how to identify international and domestic causalities, and what types of obstacles one may face, when trying to identify a potential victim. Next, one will learn how victims become involved and the common types of human trafficking. Moreover, the plethora of services for victims, eligibility for assistance, and issues for providing help will

Chapter seven is principally about providing helpful suggestion that can further enhance encouraging efforts to combat sex trafficking. The chapter starts off by implicating the use of the research findings that were found to be effective with sex trafficking victims. These proposals are not meant to be perceived as the remedy to aiding sex trafficking, but to cultivate additional research on these methods. These methods include survivor-informed programming, survivor defined practices, trauma-informed practices, and sex-trafficking-specific services. Further, the chapter begins to talk about the services that are needed for labor trafficking victims. Translating agencies, labor-specific services, and housing are examples of services that labor

The services provided to victims of human trafficking are inadequate and inappropriate and they lack coordination and consistency (Gabriele, Sapoznik, Serojitdinov & Williams, 2014).

As time progresses, people are becoming aware of sex trafficking as a global problem and they are willing to step up to help the victims return to a normal lifestyle. It has become obvious to the society that underage sex trafficked victims would be able to live a happy life and enjoy their freedom. Accordingly, “Clawson and Goldblatt Grace suggested that in many other facilities, DMST (Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking) victims often go unrecognized, making both training of staff and establishment of additional organizations dedicated to meeting the unique needs of this population priorities” (Kimberly, 184). Because of how psychologically damaged and unsafe victims are, organizations who protect underage prostitution victims are taught thoroughly about their responsibilities. In addition to programs to help and protect victims, there are also rehabilitation programs for the offenders.

Society may call it prostitution but federal law calls it sex trafficking. Victims need help not judgement or punishment. Due to the social stigma or misinformation, victims go unidentified, silenced by fear and control of the trafficker. They may be misidentified, pigeonholed into treatment for only surface issues. As a result, sex trafficked kids are treated for drug abuse, alcohol abuse, domestic violence, delinquency, or STD’s. All of this hides the true need for freedom. With the horrors of trafficking coming to an all-time high, it is important to fight this modern day slavery quickly and effectively.

According to the human trafficking hotline, there were 135 human trafficking cases reported in 2016. We are requesting $15, 000 for program support. This investment will enable us to provide safe housing for women, mental and medical health services, and establish plans with clients to avoid repeat exposure to trafficking. Annie Malone seeks to provide the unique care and safety precautions those victims of

FBCL to develop a partnership with a FBC non-profit organization that is seeking to strengthen its position in the community.

For two years, I have volunteered at a unique non-profit organization aimed at providing at-risk inner city youth with literacy skills and mentorship. As a mentor at The Writers’ Exchange, I provide individualized learning and structure to several very challenged and impoverished kids. The focus is on homework, literacy projects and field trips designed to incite creativity, communication skills, self-esteem and accomplishment. The facility is located in the poverty-stricken Downtown Vancouver Eastside, cited as the poorest school catchment in Canada, according to Statistics Canada. It is funded by donations and volunteers. Nearly all of the Writers’ Exchange children are from destitute, broken and often abusive homes, where health and socio-economic

Both organizations have mission statements, and visions that are the foundations for their organizational structures, each organization is aligned with a specific strategy to meet their goals. While both offer medical services their approach in offering such services will vary in their operational approach. Additionally, each has the ability to respond to a continuously evolving health care environment, but the for-profit would seemingly have the ability to adapt within a greater response time especially with regards to variables that would impact profitability. Federal/Local/ State rules and regulations govern both business models, but the nonprofit must strictly adhere to those guidelines in order to maintain their desired level of classification.

In order to gain more information on our project we are doing observational research and have viewed multiple surveys on what is needed in the Sex Trafficking community. We have noticed that the Sex Trafficking victims need a sense of freedom in their lives. Currently the treatment they are receiving is all physical, they are being treated for STDs and pregnancies but not receiving the comfort that they need. We plan on contacting Restore Innocence, a program based in Colorado Springs. Lindey Havens who is the executive director runs a program that reaches out to survivors and provides restoration bags that include blankets, clothing, toiletry items, and other items that can help the victims gain independence and the freedom mentioned on
