The Family Partnership
Minneapolis Rotary has joined with The Family Partnership to combat sex trafficking in Minnesota. Through this long-term commitment, The Family Partnership fully funds a full-time staff member for its nationally recognized PRIDE (Promoting Recovery, Independence, Dignity, and Equality) program and potentially double the number of clients served. This full-time position helps victims reclaim their lives. The PRIDE program offers coaching to reach educational and employment goals, allowing victims to permanently escape sex trafficking.
78% of PRIDE program participants over the past five years have discontinued sex trafficking after exiting the program.Rotarians volunteer at the therapeutic child care center in North Minneapolis which serves young children of PRIDE participants.
World Community Service Committee
We do our part locally, but how can we hope to make an impact worldwide when global problems are so overwhelming? By working in concert with Rotary International, our club can compound contributions to create significant grants. Through partnerships and "matching grants" we are able to make significant contributions to international projects. Our local contributions are matched with funds from Rotary International and the District. For example, a $5,000 allocation from our committee can be matched dollar-for-dollar by the District. This $10,000 may then be eligible for an additional $7,500 from RI. So our orignal $5,000 grows to make a $17,500 project possible!
