Rise up from the ashes. Fly like a phoenix.
Survivor Source is a survivor-led organization connecting survivors of human trafficking to community, resources, and professional development.
What began as a simple directory has grown into a national movement built by survivors, for survivors. We help survivors build skills, grow their networks, and find opportunities that support long-term healing, leadership, and empowerment.
Through projects like the Survivor Career Community (SCC) and collaborations with survivor-led and ally organizations, we’re creating spaces where lived experience drives solutions and systems change.
Welcome to Survivor Source,
a survivor-led organization founded by a leader who transformed lived experience into collective empowerment and change.
Our mission is rooted in the belief that survivors should never have to rebuild their lives alone. Survivor Source began from lived experience — born from the challenges faced navigating life after exploitation, from recovery and identity to rebuilding community and purpose.
Recognizing the gaps in support and understanding, Survivor Source was created to connect survivors with real, accessible resources and opportunities for growth.
Today, we serve survivors nationwide through:
A continuously updated directory of survivor-centered and trauma-informed organizations.
Professional and leadership development through the Survivor Career Community (SCC).
Peer support and creative expression opportunities that honor voice and story.
Collaborations and advocacy that help systems reflect survivor wisdom and inclusion.
At Survivor Source, we believe that healing and leadership can exist side by side — and that when survivors lead, systems change.

💬 Join the Movement
💬 Join the Movement
If your organization serves survivors and shares our commitment to safety, dignity, and empowerment, we’d love to connect. Schedule a brief conversation to share about your work and explore how we can collaborate.
Music can be a powerful form of healing.
Soundtrack for Success is a survivor-curated playlist created to uplift, inspire, and empower — a reflection of the resilience and creativity within our community.
The playlist features songs chosen by survivors and allies across the country, intentionally inclusive and free from violent, sexual, or religious content.
It’s a space for shared strength and self-expression — a reminder that healing doesn’t always look clinical; sometimes it sounds like your favorite song.
