Stepping Stones Network

We are an organization that operates out of central Lake County, IL and primarily serves our county and the Chicagoland area; however, we are available to speak wherever invited and will receive residential program clients from anywhere in the US. We are faith-based; however, our value is "faith-based, free to choose" meaning that we welcome clients and volunteers of any belief system. We have three main programs: Community Engagement, Prevention/Protection, and Restorative Services. We were founded in 2014 and are led by 40 very dedicated, sacrificial, mostly long-term volunteers. Our goals for 2019 are to 1) activate our first residential recovery program for trafficked moms and their children, which includes hiring our first paid staff; 2) implement our jail outreach; 3) continue our prevention work around pornography and teaching all to value the spirit, soul, and body of everyone; and 4) roll out and market our completed video series targeted toward church leaders to help them navigate our sexualized culture.
