Who We Are

Shining Light in Dark Places

Prism Project is a 501(c)3 non-profit dedicated to the prevention of human trafficking and the restoration of child survivors.

Our Mission

Two-Fold Purpose, One Clear Call

Prism Project is a 501(c)3 non-profit with a two-fold mission: to provide preventative education to communities about the realities of sex trafficking, and to support child survivors through our Safehouse Program — the first of its kind in Michigan.

Our Safehouse Program provides full wrap-around, restorative services to child survivors of sex trafficking, giving them a safe place to heal, grow, and reclaim their future.

We want our communities to be able to spot red flags of human trafficking, understand how it starts, and know how to take action — because awareness is the first step toward change.

Educate

We deliver preventative education to schools, organizations, and communities — helping people recognize warning signs and understand how trafficking begins.

Advocate

We champion the best interests of every girl we serve, working alongside legal, medical, and community partners to ensure their voices are heard and their needs are met.

Shelter

Our Safehouse Program — the first of its kind in Michigan — provides safe housing and full wrap-around restorative services for child survivors of sex trafficking.

What is Human Trafficking?

“Human trafficking, also known as trafficking in persons or modern-day slavery, is a crime that involves compelling or coercing a person to provide labor or services, or to engage in commercial sex acts.  The coercion can be subtle or overt, physical or psychological.  Exploitation of a minor for commercial sex is human trafficking, regardless of whether any form of force, fraud, or coercion was used.“

-United States Department of Justice

Our Story

Founded on Isaiah 61:1

The Prism Project was founded on the heart of Isaiah 61:1 and a prism was chosen to represent hope. When a prism is in the dark and light shines on its shattered pieces of glass, it produces an array of immense beauty that cannot be contained.

“The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners.”
— Isaiah 61:1

As of Summer 2026, Prism Project has been issued our second 3-year CARF Accreditation and become Safe House Project Certified for its Safehouse Treatment (Children and Adolescents) Program — a testament to the quality, safety, and commitment to excellence in everything we do. These certifications expand opportunities for increased referral pathways, greater community awareness, access to specialized training and resources, consultation opportunities, and continued collaboration with other organizations serving youth survivors across the country!

Human Trafficking is the global problem of our time.

When a child is rescued, that child is likely going home or somewhere that is not equipped to handle the aftermath of the complex trauma that occurs with trafficking. This can lead to a rescued survivor missing school or needed therapy appointments, and ultimately falling through the cracks and failing to thrive.

What’s the Solution?

Our mission at Prism Project is two-fold; Prevention Education on the front-end and long-term restorative services on the back-end.
