One organization, two sites.
OUR SITES
Since our launch in 2011, we've made a tangible impact, touching the lives of over 900 women and children in Northern Nevada and empowering them to reclaim their freedom and dignity. Last year, we announced our expansion into Green Bay, Wisconsin, bringing our mission to new communities and giving even more survivors the chance to rebuild their lives.

Together, these three pillars form the foundation of our approach and inform all of the work that we do, from community outreach and education to providing support and resources for survivors.

Awaken offers preventative education targeting the most vulnerable population: disadvantaged youth. We work with youth groups to talk to local students about the realities of human trafficking and how to prevent it from happening to them or their loved ones.
We offer customized services for women and children affected by sex trafficking, with a focus on tailored programs for adults and youth. Working with community organizations, our goal is to help victims rebuild their lives and access the support they need in areas where services are limited.
We advocate for social change and educate the community about commercial sexual exploitation and sex trafficking through workshops, outreach, and events. By engaging grassroots supporters and policymakers, Awaken strives to combat commercial sexual exploitation.
Real survivors. Real stories.
Every woman entering Awaken has a unique story and experience. Some are still struggling and healing–but all of our survivors are recognized for their strength and are celebrated for their journey to becoming their authentic selves.
“They didn’t shame me or guilt me or make me feel bad about my life choices. They intervened and were a support system for me. To thank them, I stay on the right path. The best way I can give back is by telling my story.”
