Join us for Girls Rising Above Child Exploitation's 7th Annual RISE ABOVE Art & Music Benefit! This is our big benefit to raise funds to support our mission of empowering youth survivors of human trafficking, including emergency needs, long-term recovery services and provide after-school therapeutic programming to our program participants.

This event features a silent auction, live art and live music, dinner and drinks, as well as an art area that showcases art pieces created by our youth during their weekly therapeutic art program that you can take home.

During this event, you will hear powerful testimonies from lived experience survivors and different members of our organization and learn more about our vision for the future and how you can be a part of the healing journey for the youth we serve. We can't wait to see you there!

Thank you to our Rise Above event sponsors! Considering becoming a sponsor today. Email info@girlsrisingabove.org

About Girls Rising Above Child Exploitation (GRACE)

At GRACE, we work with young girls and women ages 12-24 who are often voiceless and a forgotten group of women. In San Diego alone, there are hundreds of individuals who are preyed upon and trafficked within our local $800+ million underground economy. GRACE is rooted in empathy, giving young women the tools and confidence to discover their worth, restore their lives and become thriving members of society. Read more about our impact here.

Our vision is to see the end of child exploitation by raising up advocates in our community who will educate, mentor, and provide therapeutic programming to exploited, trafficked, and at-risk youth. Through our program we hope that every child will realize their worth and value and be given opportunities that will guide, encourage, and inspire them as they choose their path in life.

GRACE partners with organizations in San Diego to support, empower, and provide services to trafficked, exploited, and at-risk youth. We offer meals, transportation, mentorship, therapeutic art sessions, trauma-informed yoga, field trips, internships, education support, resource referrals, and more! We adapt our programs and offerings to meet the needs of local survivors and their children. Over the past 7 years we have been able to serve hundreds of youth with the support of our community and look forward to continuing to serve this vulnerable and worthy population. Thank you for your support!
