About Us Our mission is to provide a pathway to healing for women who have been sexually exploited. We offer housing, employment, and a healing network of support while advocating for an end to human sex trafficking.
We do this through three main programs – Street Outreach Ministry, Housing & Healing, and Employment in the social enterprise.
The Franciscan Peacemakers Social Enterprise was launched in January 2013 as a supportive workplace where women in recovery from drug addiction and sexual exploitation are employed while learning skills in manufacturing, packaging, marketing, and sales.
Franciscan Peacemakers products include soaps, lotions, candles, bath bombs and salt scrubs – beautifully handmade with natural ingredients by women working together toward individual and collective healing.
As a key member of the Leadership Team, the Social Enterprise Director manages the business operations for production, sales, and product development of the Peace and All Good product and merchandise line which supports meaningful employment for Clare Community residents. Essential duties include oversight of on-the-job training of employee participants of Clare Community in addition to all operation functions from sourcing raw materials to delivering product to expanding markets.
