We also support young people who are experiencing exploitation to exit. Once they’ve exited, we also partner with youth so that they may avoid re-entering sexually exploitative circumstances and live free of harmful transactional relationships. MISSSEY provides a safe space in our drop-in center, Intensive Case Management, hot meals,  mentorship, CSE prevention services at the Alameda County Assessment Center, and specific skill-building programs. Intensive Life Coaches and Case Managers work with program participants on developing self-identified goals and implementing activities that enable goal achievement. Action steps are concrete and always include connecting participants to community resources. Support is ongoing and is individualized based on personal goals. Helping CSEC and vulnerable youth build individualized networks of support is integral to increasing the overall safety and well-being of our youth by ensuring they have the knowledge and abilities to access a holistic, youth-focused array of community supports at any given time. We offer basic needs support, life skills workshops, community mentoring, peer support, school/employment exploration and enrollment assistance, therapeutic arts, and movement, and support groups that explore mindfulness, sexual health, and political/cultural education. Through these activities, youth learn to connect and collaborate with others, uplift their voices and express their truths, explore their passions and interests, access safety and healing, and develop the confidence, knowledge, and self-advocacy skills that empower them to lead healthy self-determined lives.

Although our name is Bay Area Women Against Rape, we serve anyone affected by sexual violence. BAWAR defines sexual violence by the narratives of the survivors who experienced the violence.

Our long-term objective is to keep girls out of adult  prisons with early and effective intervention.  The  core objectives are: (1) to effect behavioral change in the girls that we serve, and (2) to provide a holistic continuum of care and support for them. This continuum extends from their detention through to their re-entry into the community.
