our programs

Prevention. Protection. Restoration.

Each program plays a distinct role in addressing trafficking, creating opportunities for connection, safety, and long-term growth.

GET INVOLVED

Restoration and prevention involve deep work. It requires time, stability, and trust—without these, progress cannot last. Adagio's programs are focused on long-term outcomes and creating a future where survivors can thrive.

OUR PROGRAMS

Pathways to restoration

Sarah's Home

Sarah’s Home is a residential program for girls ages 14–17 who have experienced sex trafficking. We provide a safe, structured environment for healing through education, therapy, and consistent support. Each girl is given the time and stability needed to rebuild trust, begin to heal, and move forward at her own pace.

Aspire Academy partners directly with our residential programs by providing education tailored to the unique educational needs of each survivor in our programs. Aspire supports long-term independence, equipping individuals with the stability and support they need to move forward with confidence and build a future of their own.

why we exists

A Shared Responsibility

We believe ending trafficking will take all of us—not one program, not one organization, but a shared commitment across communities. That’s why everything at Adagio is built on the power of connection: walking closely with survivors, investing in long-term relationships with our partners, and engaging as an active part of the broader anti-human trafficking movement. We don’t believe in quick fixes or surface-level involvement. Real change happens when communities commit to one another—and we are committed for the long haul.

Eligibility and the referral process are handled with care. Please see our Referrals page for more details.

A residential program is not the same as a shelter. Shelters meet an urgent, short-term need. Our programs are built for the long road — for healing, stability, and protection from revictimization.

Survivors of trafficking have unique needs and risks that require specialized, trauma-informed care. Without a safe stable program and housing, survivors are at high risk of being revictimized. So a program is far more than a roof over someone's head. It is the foundation that lets a young person rest, regain a sense of agency, and begin to heal at their own pace.

At Adagio, everything we do with our program and our school is designed for survivors, not adapted for them as an afterthought. We meet each young person where they are, with safety, dignity, and choice, in a place designed to support and empower them to rebuild.

For Sarah’s Home, every individual enters the program through a referral. Caseworkers, agencies, families, and guardians can all begin the process. Visit our Referrals page to learn how. If your organization has a mentoring program and would like to add In Step, reach out through our Contact page. We will walk you through partnering with us.
