What We Do
Our Mission
Serving San Diego's sex trafficking victims by offering a real way out. GenerateHope is a trans-denominational Christian organization providing a long-term, comprehensive, housing and recovery program to young women who have been sexually trafficked, so that they are able to reintegrate into society and have a positive effect on generations to come.
Our Vision
Our vision is a community without sexual trafficking or exploitation, where survivors are positive and successful contributors to society. GenerateHope's vision is to see survivors of sex trafficking and exploitation recover from the abuse and trauma of the sex trade, reintegrate into society and have a positive effect on generations to come. It is also our goal to educate our community and work with local law enforcement and task forces to eradicate the issue of human trafficking in San Diego.
