POETIC is a Dallas-based nonprofit organization that combats the issues that perpetuate re-victimization among youth who have experienced commercial sexual exploitation and sex trafficking. We provide an onsite school, trauma therapy, art therapy, and employment services at no cost to POETIC girls and their families.

By addressing the systems that perpetuate victimization, POETIC is igniting a movement to reject the notion that youth can be bought and sold. At POETIC, youth are not defined by their circumstances and experiences. Instead, they are empowered to become the authors of their lives.

You can support our organization by purchasing custom-made products through our Etsy shop. Our girls thoughtfully handcrafted each piece of art portrayed in our products. All proceeds will go back to furthering our goal of building an effective pipeline out of the juvenile justice system and into intensive aftercare.
