This program is specifically designed for survivors of human trafficking, and we promote it with that focus. As a participant, others may naturally assume you have this lived experience.

However, through your consented participation in the Fellowship, some individuals may recognize your connection to this experience.

  • Ability to commit and actively participate in a 12-month program from January 2025 to December 2025
