Restoration

Where survivors start their Journey to Freedom

The Demand Project is uniquely designed to help every victim of human trafficking (HT), online enticement, child sexual abuse material (CSAM), and the commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC) in the United States, no matter gender, age, or national origin. We are able to offer our Journey Program model which is a victim-centered, community-driven, trauma-informed approach that focuses on restoring victims to survivors, and equipping survivors to become thriving members of our communities.

When a victim is first brought to The Demand Project, our trained experts conduct a comprehensive, six-area evaluation to determine the best and most effective path forward and create a customized resource plan.

Mount Arukah: A Haven of Healing

Thanks to generous donations, tireless volunteer efforts, and unwavering support from community and political leaders, The Demand Project proudly operates one of the largest residential campuses in the United States for girls aged 11-17 who have survived human trafficking or commercial sexual exploitation.

Nestled in the hills of Oklahoma, the Mount Arukah campus is a purposefully situated sanctuary comprising nine buildings. Five houses offer dorm-style living for up to 30 girls, while the dining hall doubles as the Empower Academy online-alternative school. Additionally, the Mount Arukah campus hosts the Bethany Campus Clinic and Advocacy Center, life skills training facilities, and Central Park - a space for therapeutic recreational activities. Each house is overseen by a dedicated House Guardian, while the Leadership Home serves as a hub for the Executive Team's operations.

Journey to Freedom Program: Empowering Restoration

At Mount Arukah, the focus lies in the resident-centered and community-driven Journey to Freedom Program. This trauma-informed approach is dedicated to restoring survivors of human trafficking and sexual exploitation, empowering them to transition from victims to thriving individuals. Through a blend of specialized care, tailored support, and holistic empowerment, survivors are equipped with the tools they need to reclaim their lives and flourish.
