Support Young Women and Girls By Keeping We Rise in Our Community!
An anonymous donor has pledged $25,000 match to our cause. We need your help to fill the gap!
We Rise — and so do the voices of survivors.
This Summer, our We Rise EmpowHER campaign has been shining a light on the reality of Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children (CSEC) and the strength of those impacted. Our mission is clear: to connect, educate, and empower youth who are at risk or have experienced exploitation, reminding them they have a voice, a choice, and support.
But we’re facing a serious challenge. Due to significant federal funding cuts, We Rise is at risk of losing $300,000 - a devastating blow to programs that support hundreds of young women + girls across Essex County.
In the month of August, we’re calling on our community to help us bridge this funding gap and ensure We Rise continues to be a safe, supportive space for those who need it most. A kind + generous anonymous donor has pledged a $25,000 match to We Rise's mission. Our $50,000 goal will not only help us to keep We Rise active within our community but also directly support the young people that they serve each and everyday
Together, we can change the narrative.
