Grace Place School

Grace Place School Grace Place School offers a road to hope to youth escaping sex trafficking or who are at risk. These perpetrators are skilled and master manipulators.

There is an epidemic of American youth being lured and forced into sex trafficking and who are in dangerous situations. Shared Hope International reports that 30% of shelter youth and 70% of street youth are victims of commercial sexual exploitation. These youth run to the streets desperate to escape their situation and looking for someone who will care. Most of them, predominately girls, will be

approached by a trafficker who will attempt to lure them into a life of forced prostitution. A vulnerable youth will follow the trafficker once they have been successfully deceived to believe that this trafficker will care and provide for them and make them feel special. Many young boys have few, if any positive male role models and often witness violence in their homes or the parents are emotionally absent. They turn to gangs and the streets for a sense of belonging and acceptance and are ripe for recruitment as a victim or a perpetrator. They strive to become like the gang leaders and/or their fathers, brothers, or uncles who are doing time in prison and they learn that selling people is a very profitable business. Even if a student is doing well in school, when one is ensnared in the web of sex trafficking, typically they will show signs of the abuse and/or involvement. Their grades will drop. School seems to offer little relevance to their lives and is a place where they often meet repeated failure. They can be labeled by peers and adults as delinquents, runaways, rostitutes, and sluts.

“I came to Grace Place School for a second chance in my life and to follow God on the right path. The sponsorship means a lot to me, because for people to not know me and send money helps a lot.”
— GPS Student

Someone they’d never met decided to believe in them anyway.

We're still buzzing from Thursday night.

THANK YOU to every person who joined us for Seeds of Hope. You filled the room. You opened your hearts. You heard the students' stories. And you showed up for South Florida's most vulnerable teens in a powerful way.

Together, we raised money to sow into brighter futures for at risk youth.

That means:

More scholarships for students who can't afford tuition
More job training and life skills programs
More protection from trafficking through education
More hope planted in soil that's ready to grow

To our attendees: Thank you for being there.
To our sponsors: Thank you for making it possible.
To our students who shared their stories: Thank you for your courage.
To our team: Thank you for pulling off a beautiful evening.

But here's the thing: The work doesn't stop here. We serve 45-50 students every year, and the need keeps growing.
