Street Grace is a faith-based nonprofit organization whose mission is to end demand for the Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children (CSEC) through prevention/protection, policy and pursuit.

Defined as a commercial transaction that involves the sexual exploitation of a child, such as a commercial sex act or child pornography, CSEC is the fastest growing criminal industry today. Research shows that the Underground Commercial Sex Economy (UCSE) is estimated to be a $290 million illegal industry in Georgia alone. The cost on a personal and societal level is staggering.

Street Grace’s vision is a world where all children are free from sexual exploitation. Since 2009, Street Grace has mobilized leaders of business, community, and faith to end the sexual exploitation and trafficking of children across the United States.
