Diversity & Inclusion: The Foundation to Making Freedom Real

Restore's mission is to make freedom real for survivors of trafficking in the United States. To do that, we desire a staff team that's more representative of the survivors we serve — almost all of whom are Black, Latina, and/or immigrants. Applicants from these underrepresented communities are strongly encouraged to apply. We especially welcome applicants who have lived experience of trafficking or labor exploitation.
