This past month, Corrie’s House was honored to be selected by Power of 100 Women - Greater Stillwater, alongside Yellow Ribbon Alliance and Limitless Cycling, to educate attendees on our respective missions and to gain support for the work we’re doing. The evening brought 160 women together who came to support local organizations and amplify the power of their collective contributions to create a greater impact. Together, we were united by our shared purpose of making a difference in the lives of others in our community. At the end of the event, Corrie’s House was humbled to be selected as their recipient of a $10,000 award to support survivors of human trafficking.
Human trafficking is the fastest growing criminal enterprise in the world, and online exploitation is growing at an alarming rate. Often seen as a distant issue that happens in other countries or big cities, the fact is that youth in our very own communities are being targeted. Do you know how it’s happening so that you can help prevent it?
Corrie’s House, in collaboration with C.A.S.T. (Citizens Against Sexual Trafficking), is sponsoring an important educational event aimed at exposing truths about who is being targeted, tactics that are being used, signs that someone may be exploited or trafficked, and resources that are available to help.
We are thrilled to announce that Corrie’s House has officially submitted our programming application to the State of Minnesota! This step brings us closer to realizing our mission of providing transformative care to minors who have experienced sex trafficking and exploitation. This submission marks a significant milestone in our journey and brings us one step closer to opening our doors to participants who seek renewal and hope.
At Corrie's House, we believe in the tremendous power of a community coming together for a purpose. We can think of no greater purpose than to give our most vulnerable and exploited youth a path to freedom by providing the Twin Cities’ first long term residential program for young victims/survivors of sexual exploitation. This most recent leg of our race to make this possible has been nothing short of monumental.
May marks two important opportunities to raise awareness for Foster Care Month as well as Mental Health Month. We want to recognize all of the professional and family caregivers who serve those who’ve been afflicted with mental health issues or who are in need of safe care and housing.
Young survivors of sexual exploitation and trafficking are in great need of both of these services. They’ve often experienced complex trauma that requires specialized, trauma-informed therapy to help them recover and heal. Many also face homelessness and are in need of the basic needs of a safe home. Sadly, the available options to support either of these foundational needs are quite limited, and finding a path out of their circumstances is extremely challenging.
Corrie’s House will be the first residential facility in the Twin Cities to provide long-term residential care with comprehensive services specifically tailored to support minors who’ve experienced or are at risk of sexual exploitation and trafficking.
On our trek to develop a residential program to provide transformative care for youth who’ve survived sex trafficking, we are immensely grateful for the support and dedication of our volunteers who selflessly give of their time and talents to support our mission. Their contributions have been instrumental in shaping our residential program curriculum, organizing educational and fundraising events, capturing precious moments, providing expertise on the development of our direct care services, and serving on our board of directors.

January marks Human Trafficking Awareness Month, and at Corrie's House, we're not only supporting survivors but launching an education campaign. Our team has curated valuable content on our website, covering crucial topics like tactics to target minors and risks associated with platforms like OnlyFans.
Realize the gravity of the issue close to home – 14% of men in Minnesota have purchased sex, and 26,000 men engaged in such transactions last year. Shockingly, 83% of sex trafficking victims know their trafficker, with the average age of first trafficking being 13.
