Freedom Forward is working to prevent the commercial sexual exploitation of youth in San Francisco by transforming the systems that too often contribute to their exploitation.
Freedom Forward is working to prevent the commercial sexual exploitation of youth in San Francisco by transforming the systems that too often contribute to their exploitation. Guided by the voices of youth, Freedom Forward pilots collaborative and replicable approaches to address these systemic failures, so that all youth have the opportunity to thrive.
Currently, we are focusing on two strategic initiatives:
inviting youth to play a central role in our work
researching and developing promising new ideas and sharing learnings openly
recognizing that the people we care about, the systems that affect them, and the changes we seek are multifaceted
collaborating with a diverse set of partners across disciplines, minimizing the duplication of efforts
adopting a healing-centered approach not only for youth but also for our team and our professional community
