The A21 Freedom Center is a type of transitional model for survivors of human trafficking. Our Freedom Centers provide survivors with the support they need to transition to living fully independent, flourishing lives. This includes assistance in repatriation, housing assistance, employment assistance, educational scholarships, psychological care, and assistance stabilizing and dealing with the effects of their experiences. Our team is committed to helping them take their next steps toward independence: from job searches to counseling, to the simple expression of creativity, to community.
In Charlotte, our team works face to face with survivors in our care, meeting with them regularly and walking the journey of restoration alongside of them. Restoring what has been taken away, and renewing hope for a better future.
