Mission
New Friends New Life (NFNL) restores and empowers trafficked and sexually exploited teen girls, women, and their children, and drives awareness of the issue and its prevalence. Through case management, trauma-informed counseling, and economic empowerment/educational support, NFNL is creating a community where women and girls can soar above the limits of their past and achieve their dreams.
A lack of education can be a significant barrier in a survivor’s journey to a life free from trafficking and exploitation. Earlier this year, New Friends New Life launched an onsite Learning Academy. This new program creates a space for our members to practice and pass their GED exams, helping them get to what’s next!

Texas ranks second in the nation for the highest number of sex trafficking victims, and Dallas ranks second in the state. This illegal sex trade generates $99 million a year for traffickers, and the average age a girl is trafficked in the United States is between 13 and 15 years old. New Friends New Life serves women and teen girls who have been trafficked or sexually exploited (i.e., forced into prostitution, brothels, clubs, or pornography). NFNL addresses the problem of sex trafficking in Dallas by stepping in to ensure survivors of trafficking and exploitation have the mental, tangible, and economic tools necessary to escape the sex trade for good, as well as advocating for policy change and education to bring awareness to trafficking and aid prevention efforts. In 2023, NFNL served 328 women and girls.

At New Friends New Life, we know that the work we do every day to restore and empower survivors exists against a crippling social backdrop of hatred, discrimination, and socioeconomic inequality. We cannot separate the acute trauma from this chronic trauma that has existed for generations. In order to break through these barriers, we must acknowledge, support, and hold space for those who are directly affected by these ills - beginning with our staff (64% of whom are women of color), the members we serve (69% women of color) and our diverse Board of Directors.
