What We Do

Making an Impact

What does Saving Innocence Do?

We serve clients of all ages, genders, and forms of human trafficking victimization. Los Angeles County represents 25% of the total population of California, has the second largest population of immigrants in the U.S., and has a large number of foster children, runaway minors, and Transitional Age Youth (“TAY” are former system-involved youth between the ages of 18-24), all of whom are common targets for traffickers. We often see victims from these vulnerable populations, in addition to individuals who identify as LGBTQ+.

“I promise you’re impacting us even if we don’t show it. Thank you, Saving Innocence for giving me another chance at life.”
