CORE FOCUS
The official IRS purpose was simply written:
“We provide human services that help empower, heal, and dignify vulnerable populations, including but not limited to, those affected by human trafficking.”
To accomplish this, we decided to establish five areas where we would put our efforts. These are:
- Survival & Stability
- Empowerment & Education
- Healing & Growth
- Happiness & Positivity
- Dignity & Kindness

FOCUS ON DIGNITY
How can we best help people who have been stigmatized, marginalized, exploited, oppressed, or humiliated? We start by treating people with kindness and dignity, regardless of their mistakes, differences, lifestyle choices, religion, or current social status. This is the first step to empowering people.
Powerlessness goes hand-in-hand with humiliation. They both involve exposure to disrespectful treatment, a lack of decision-making power, and the lessened ability to make desired choices.
Dignity includes providing support in such a way as to validate the self- worth of the individual.

“(Voices for Dignity) has provided us with a place to do our home schooling as well as bringing in school supplies. They gave my son a place to live for a short time when he was in a desperate situation. They helped get therapy for my family when we were dealing with some severe emotional issues. I honestly don’t know how we would have gotten through some of our hardest times, without the help from Voices for Dignity.”
