Regarding our T2F Training Platform
​
“Take it from me, who had the experience I hope nobody ever goes through. Adolescents need to be aware of what’s going on. Otherwise, it will leave them right where I was powerless, scared, and uneducated.”

A Powerful Force Against Human Trafficking in Santa Cruz

“Arukah Project is an organization that combines the powerful understanding of the complex issue of human trafficking and the knowledge of and history in the Santa Cruz region. While pulling together a coalition of community based organizations, law enforcement, and the judicial system, their survivor centered approach is effective and what’s needed to address this issue and ensure long-term survivor health and well being. Having known the organization for years and witnessed their growth I can say that they are a force to be reckoned with and I wholeheartedly endorse their work.”
