Safe Passage Foundation
Safe Passage Foundation is a not-for-profit foundation established by former second generation Family members Julia McNeil, Lauren Stevens and Nahchey Storer. The organisation, which has its headquarters in New York, has taken the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child as its guiding philosophy. It aims to protect minors within "high-demand organisations" from abuse and exploitation, and to provide resources, support and advocacy for those who choose to leave but are unprepared to face the challenges of the outside world.
Safe Passage's mission includes encouraging open dialogue with restrictive communities on welfare matters, providing crisis intervention if needed, and helping young people in transition to find safe havens through housing and education programs. The foundation hopes to involve former childhood cult members who have moved successfully into outside adult society.
