Lived experience is expertise.

The success of RIA's program model is rooted in understanding the life experiences of people healing and exiting from the sex trade. We believe in collaborative leadership, where all voices and experiences are valued and influence every level of care — from the front lines to fundraising. RIA is an equal opportunity employer that actively seeks, trains, and promotes candidates from diverse backgrounds, including people with lived experience, women, communities of color, the LGBTQIA+ community, and people with disabilities.

“Being a clinical intern at RIA has been a special experience. Every story shared by our participants has taught me about resilience, strength, and perseverance.”
