Operation REBUILD
Operation Rebuild is for our returning citizens from the Department of Corrections who partners with ETC to provide a safe environment conducive to re-entry into our communities for healing, having a voice and turning their lived experiences into a benefit for the community in giving back
Rebuild aims to inspire and ignite citizens that are leaving a life of incarceration behind and moving into a new life as a law-abiding citizen. An individual’s transition back into society can be a seemingly impossible task if left without the proper support system. This program aids in their transition back into society, providing them with an environment that allows them to work out their new life with counseling and a strong support system. We teach them to find their voice, advocate to create better communities, and help them feel normal again. We provide a holistic program that teaches them to develop a sense of purpose for self and community.

For those coming out of incarceration or addiction, this reduces the chance they go back to a that life.
Operation Rebuild helps women and men integrate back to normal life by providing stable housing and a comprehensive program that understands that the needs of each client might be different. The program allows for those of faith, and non-faith, to be empowered to live out that new life of a changed individual, receiving the help and resources needed to avoid future incarceration. Operation Rebuild seeks to restore the individual to a rightful state in the community, leaving them with a mindset of a life redeemed, empowered to serve themselves, their family, and their community. Clients are taught the value of self-worth, education, employment ethics, money management, self-care and the importance of contributions to their community.
For The One
Empowered to Change International knows that it will take the entire community to enter into the fight for the sexually exploited, and aid in the transformation of the one who exploits. We desperately want to see the victim be healed, while craving to disrupt the pattern of victim creation and stop the cycle of the perpetrator. We aspire to holistically reform both the survivor and the buyer; to bring about redemptive justice, healing and restoration for the individual and the community. Many times, the victim becomes the victimizer if trauma therapy, healing and education does not come into play.
By partnering with community advocates to provide a wide variety of assistance, we help each individual enter into the reformation process, and become transformed to experience wholeness and healing. A safe environment is part of that process. We provide stable housing, a strong support system, education, and employment paired with a holistic model of healing that empowers the survivor to step into a new life that leaves behind the bondage. Within this model, a unique case plan is tailored to each individual’s needs. Restoring to the point before the exploitation is not enough. We want them to be restored to the true intention of their life.
