MISSSEY is a project based out of Alameda County that was created to address the epidemic of the commercial sexual exploitation of children, especially in the form of child/teen prostitution. MISSSEY was created to respond to the specialized and complex needs of sexually exploited children and will dramatically decrease the current gap in CSEC-specific services by providing intensive case management, court advocacy, professional & community trainings, comprehensive data reporting and local/state/national education & awareness campaigns.
We constantly strive to build a broad network of support for the issue of the commercial sexual exploitation of children as well as support for recognition of commercially sexually exploited children as victims. MISSSEY understands that the sexual exploitation of children is child abuse. MISSSEY is committed to the idea that sexually exploited children need specialized services that focus on victimization and recovery and redirection toward empowerment and safety.
As a new project we are in the process of acquiring the tools & equipment we need to maximize our success and efficacy as an organization. We rely strongly on the support of the community, namely people like you, to maintain our daily functions and make our programs effective and enriching for all who participate.

MISSSEY SERVICE UPDATE
Due to current public health concerns related to COVID-19, MISSSEY has reworked its service delivery to ensure the safety of both the youth that we serve and staff. MISSSEY recognizes that this health crisis will further impact youth that may already be struggling, and therefore remains committed to continuing limited, essential services (remote case management, restricted drop-in services and decreased onsite staff at the Alameda County Assessment Center).
Program Activities: All in-person program activities and meetings will occur virtually or be postponed for a later date, with the exception of direct services provided at the Alameda County Assessment Center. MISSSEY will communicate these plans via telephone, email, website, and/or social media, as appropriate.
Case Management: Case management staff will implement virtual home visits. Social emotional support, referrals and guidance for limiting exposure to the Corona virus, will be shared with clients via electronic communication. Every reasonable effort will be made to support clients and other vulnerable youth during this time. MISSSEY is still accepting referrals for prevention and intervention services. Direct service staff are also on-site at the Alameda County Assessment Center engaging and supporting youth.
Drop-in Center: Closed until further notice
MISSSEY has recently opened a resource hotline. Youth and service providers who call will receive live information about reliable sources for shelter and other key services.
MISSSEY COVID-19 Resource Line: 510-224-5937
Hotline Hours: Mon-Thurs (10am-7pm)
Crisis Line: (510) 845-7273 (BAWAR 24hr Hotline)
To reach us for anything else, please call or email: 510-251-2070 or [email protected].
Moving forward, we will post updates on our website and our social media feeds.
Thank you in advance for your flexibility and for supporting our mission and programs, which advance the health of our community each and every day.

General information
According to the Trafficking Victims Protection Act, a federal law passed in 2000, any child under the age of 18 years old that is used for the purpose of exploitation through sexual servitude (prostitution), regardless of the absence of economic leverage, manipulation, fraud, coercion, threats, force and violence is considered a commercially sexually exploited child (CSEC). A child victim of human trafficking does not have to prove that they were tricked or violently forced into sexual exploitation in order to be considered a victim of human trafficking under this federal law. This law applies to every child human trafficking victim in the United States.

I have never been so disappointed with an organization. When I finally got thru to someone and enrollrd my child into a session and showed up for a group session to be told that oh it had been cancelled and we will call you when it's rescheduled. Still waiting on that call. When I read online about the organization and how it help teens I was really excited. Totally frustrated with this organization. I hope others have better luck that what has happened to me.
Inspiring!
