POETIC is an in-community aftercare program for girls (12-18) who have experienced child sexual abuse, commercial sexual exploitation (CSE) or domestic minor sex trafficking (DMST). We builds a pipeline out of the juvenile justice system and into intensive aftercare for girls who have been exploited and trafficked.

The heart of POETIC is a highly-skilled, passionate staff team dedicated to serving girls who have experienced child maltreatment, commercial sexual exploitation and/or sex trafficking. Our team includes therapists, educators, advocates, creative problem solvers, fundraisers, project managers, administrative gurus, and more.
