Springfest!We collaborated with the Women's Center, Student Leadership, and the Arts and Lectures Activity Board at NSCC to participate in NSCC’s Springfest.
At the event we ran a table to raise awareness about sexual trafficking and sexual violence. We were proud to spread this message to our peers.

Springfest!At the table we passed out literature and articles while collecting messages of hope and encouragement to deliver to the Genesis Project for the victims.
We were invited to give a presentation to an ESL and IEP class in the fall about sex trafficking in the Seattle area.
