OUR MISSION

Kherut changes lives by providing paid job training and holistic support to women who have survived labor and sex trafficking, addiction, incarceration, and other serious challenges. Participants receive essential skills, mentorship, and real-world experience in a safe, supportive environment. By equipping women with the tools to build stable, independent futures, the program helps break cycles of trauma and poverty—empowering lives, fostering generational change, and strengthening surrounding communities.

Why We’re Different

Kherut’s model is unique in the world of workforce training and employment. As a trauma-informed training program and employer, Kherut sets a new standard of creating employment stability leading to overall wellness, building self-confidence, and supporting better mental health. Through partnership with other nonprofit programs, we invite under-employed and un-employable, marginalized women into our nonprofit workforce training program. Our mission…to help create lasting change in the lives of survivors’ by offering job skills leading to long-term career opportunities, not just a transitional steppingstone.
