Here at Tubman, 6 out of 10 young clients report being approached or having been exploited. Because lack of shelter and advocacy and support. basic needs contribute to vulnerability, studies have shown that programs like ours can prevent sexual exploitation and trafficking.

Throughout the school year participation was high, and nearly 9,000 students learned how to build healthy relationships and create safer communities.
Working with a stellar team of community volunteers, we also developed plans to open the NorthStar Youth Outreach Center at Harriet Tubman Center East. The drop-in center will provide some basic needs, such as showers, clothing, a light meal, bus passes, safety plan- ning, and referrals to partner organizations.

A Tribute to Nancy Grimme
In November, we lost one of our beloved colleagues to brain cancer. Nancy Grimme was a partner and wife, grandmother, dear friend, skilled psychologist, mentor to many, volunteer, and community builder. Her openness and unpretentious wisdom helped keep the ship steady during times of change, and her smile served as a welcome to clients, interns, and staff alike. She was a role model of patience and an ice-cream-sandwich-maker extraordinaire. Rest in peace, Nancy—you will be missed by all of us.
