What We Do

Street GRACE is an alliance of Christian churches, community partners and volunteers that supports and collaborates with individuals and organizations dedicated to eradicating the commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC). Street GRACE mobilizes community resources financial, human and material, to help individuals and organizations effectively fighting CSEC through advocacy, prevention and restoration.  Street GRACE is working to end CSEC in Atlanta, with a vision of ending it throughout the United States.  Specifically Street GRACE focuses on:

CHURCH MOBILIZATION & COOPERATION

MINISTRY RESOURCING & COLLABORATION

Ministry Resourcing and Collaboration to help stop csec

Street GRACE recognizes that churches need information on how to best fight CSEC.  We strive to meet this need by monitoring and evaluating our own anti-CSEC efforts as well as our partners’ and sharing our findings with churches, community organizations and frontline service providers.  


ISSUE ADVOCACY & AWARENESS

Creating issue advocacy and awareness to help stop csec

Advocacy and awareness-building efforts typically seek to influence individuals who make decisions involving policy, programs and/or resource allocations. These individuals can be in government or the private sector. Street GRACE defines its advocacy agenda around three specific issues: prevention, restoration, and collaboration.

The founding of street grace

Street GRACE’s current advocacy and awareness campaign, Stop the Candy Shop, is based on the film, The Candy Shop.  Produced by Whitestone Pictures, this 30 minute film is a thought-provoking examination of CSEC that emphasizes the power of one individual to change the situation for the better. Watch the trailer by clicking here. The film is a great resource for mobilizing communities and can be purchased as part of Street GRACE’s, mobilization toolkit.
