“At the time of election and annually thereafter, each director, principal officer or member of a committee with board-delegated powers (hereafter interested persons) must disclose the existence of any financial interest as defined in the conflict of interest policy. Interested persons with an actual or potential conflict of interest are given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the board or executive committee. After exercising due diligence, if a conflict exists, the board or executive committee shall determine whether 3strands global foundation can obtain, with reasonable efforts, a more advantageous transaction or arrangement from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably possible under circumstances not producing a conflict of interest, the board or executive committee shall determine by a majority vote of the disinterested directors whether the transaction or arrangement is in 3strands global foundation's best interest, and shall make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement.”

“Employ + empower - reintegration 3strands global foundation's employ + empower reintegration program connects survivors of human trafficking and those at-risk (such as transitional aged-foster youth) with sustainable, trauma-informed jobs and the resources they need to succeed in the workplace, allowing them to create a new future, one free of exploitation. Economic insecurity is one of the main vulnerabilities exploited by traffickers. The inability to support themselves and fulfill their basic needs is the primary reason survivors return to a situation of exploitation. Survivors have told us for years that the most empowering action we can take on their behalf is to help them find a job. Case managers walk alongside survivors and at-risk individuals to connect them with sustainable employment and the consistent support they need to succeed in their jobs, including interview coaching, skill-building workshops, job training, trauma-informed case management, mental health support, and more. The impact yielded an 80% retention rate. 750+ individuals served in the sacramento, san francisco, and san jose areas. Increase in the program participants' perception of self-worth, confidence in job skills, and knowledge of the services available to them. Regular meetings with those served to provide support during the employment process (helping to meet basic needs, such as access to job and interview clothing, and to connect them with community resources such as transportation, education, and childcare.”
