This program requires a one year commitment and the matches meet weekly (or several times per month), on days and times convenient to both. The matches spend their time together engaged in activities that are of mutual interest, such as playing ball, going to parks or beaches, touring museums, cheering on local sports teams or simply hanging out.

    MISSSEY works to prevent girls and gender-expansive youth from ever entering circumstances of sexual exploitation and violence. We also support young people who are experiencing exploitation to exit. Once they’ve exited, we partner with youth so that they may avoid re-entering sexually exploitative circumstances and live free of harmful transactional relationships.
