INsideOUT is a 501c3 non-profit organization established November 1 2011, “to bring awareness and understanding of human trafficking to our communities instilling a commitment for action to benefit those impacted.” INsideOUT is the first organization in Idaho dedicated to working with juvenile survivors of human trafficking. Now INsideOUT’s new CEO Amanda Fisher, is the first survivor to a lead organization in the state of Idaho. Having a survivor leader provides a expertise of life experience to engage others who have been affected by human trafficking creating comfort and care as they go through the restoration and healing of their life.
PROJECTS:
INsideOUT Drop in location
Planning and preparing the INsideOUT Salon basement into a immediate drop in center.
The build out is already in the process thanks for a 10,000 grant that funds can be matched too. This drop-in location would help meet those immediate needs for the survivors we work with.
HOME
We have a vision called project ,“HOME”. Project, “HOME,” is for each survivor to experience what every person desires. A place to call,“HOME”. Human trafficking is an experience that tears you and your life apart, mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually making it almost impossible to go back to your family and friends or what most call a normal life.
INsideOUT would like to provide a place for each survivor that comes into contact with us to have the opportunity to heal in a place called, “HOME.” When a client encounters us, we want them to know they are not going to an office, facility, or treatment center, it’s a “HOME”. A large house with rooms to call their own, a family room, bathroom, kitchen, and friends. This will allow them to engage with others in the community by saying, “I'm going HOME or I have a HOME” etc.
WHAT WILL “HOME,” LOOK LIKE
