- Launched the Survival Council Emerging Leaders Training: This initiative brought together students and leaders to foster advocacy and create change on local, national, and global levels.
- Collaborated with Inner-City Girls' Clubs: We worked alongside several organizations to empower and educate at-risk youth, promoting digital safety and preventing online harm.
- Launched a Podcast Series: Our podcast tackled important subjects such as trafficking and sexual exploitation, shining a light on these issues and raising awareness in the community.
- Provided Direct Emergency Assistance: We supported over 150 survivors directly and impacted over 5,000 people through our outreach and educational efforts.
- Delivered Leadership Training for Professionals: We held a 2-day training session designed for professionals working with survivors, focusing on advanced survivor-led training techniques.
We are grateful for the opportunities and support we’ve received throughout the year. A special thank you goes to Love Runs for their generous grant, Gathering Friends 2 Give for their ongoing support of our emergency assistance programs, and the Lichtman Family for the holiday gifts and treats that brought so much joy.
We also extend our heartfelt thanks to my dedicated board members, Kathy Maitland, Steve Watts, and Emily Johnson, for their guidance and unwavering support. A big thank you to the Motor City Studios team for their exceptional podcast services, Shar Academy for providing their space, and my incredible cohort member Lady T Thompson.
Another significant thank you goes to the Survival Council Members and all the youth and survivor leaders who have been instrumental in changing the narrative from helplessness and hopelessness to hope and empowerment. By equipping them with knowledge on how to identify danger, recognize predators, and understand who is a trusted adult, we’ve empowered them to take action in their own lives and communities.
Looking ahead, I humbly ask for your continued support. I encourage you to use your unique gifts and talents to help us make an even greater impact as we work together to create positive change.
We are truly better together, and we are filled with gratitude for the opportunities to serve and make a difference.
Thank you,
Alice Jay/ Johnson
