We have some exciting news to celebrate! 🤍
Her Song Capital District was recently honored with the FBI Director’s Community Leadership Award, recognizing our collaboration with the FBI Albany Field Office and our shared commitment to serving survivors of human trafficking throughout the Capital District.
Her Song leaders Kelly Posze, co-founder and national programs director, and Heather Callahan, national operations director, accepted the award alongside Capital District team members Alixandra Pimentel, community engagement coordinator, and Lexie Modzelewski, outreach and care coordinator, as well as members of our local residential team. Together, they represented the hard work, dedication and heart of the entire Her Song Capital District team.
This recognition is especially meaningful because supporting survivors is never work done alone. It takes law enforcement, service providers, advocates, community members and supporters coming together to help women find safety, support and a pathway toward lasting freedom.
As Kelly shared, “We are profoundly grateful for the FBI’s collaboration and for their commitment to seeing survivors for who they truly are—not simply as victims of a crime, but as women deserving of dignity, hope, healing and the opportunity for a future.”
While we’re incredibly grateful for this honor, it ultimately points us back to the women at the heart of our mission. Every connection made and every person who chooses to stand alongside survivors helps create more opportunities for women to be seen, supported and empowered as they rebuild their lives.
Thank you for being part of that work and for celebrating this special moment with us.
