  • DIVINE supports females ages 12 through 17. Although all girls are welcome to participate in the program, DIVINE’s staff possesses expertise in serving African American and Bi-racial girls with a traumatized past. Since its opening, the Ramsey County Crisis Unit began sending the more difficult to place African American girls. Young ladies with heightened aggression, court-ordered, truancy, school/academic hardships, lengthen behavior issues, coupled with years of trauma. 

  • We serve the girls in Minnesota who have experienced, are at-risk of, being sexually trafficked and/or sexually exploited.
