Learn More About Fort Worth’s The Worthy Co.

The Worthy Co., a social enterprise of The Net, is on a mission to empower survivors of trafficking and sexual exploitation. Since 2012, The Net has supported over 1,000 survivors in rebuilding their lives, but they noticed a common barrier hindering their progress: finding sustainable employment. Many survivors faced challenges due to criminal records and the trauma they had experienced. Recognizing this need, The Net founded the nonprofit The Worthy Co. in Fort Worth in 2018 to provide dignified employment opportunities to survivors, enabling them to continue their journey in recovery.

In Texas, multiple prostitution misdemeanors can result in a permanent felony record, exacerbating the challenges faced by survivors. Despite these obstacles, The Worthy Co. focuses on the dreams and aspirations of each individual, believing that every person is worthy of a chance to rebuild their life. Through job training programs, survivors learn new skills, gain work experience, and earn a dignified wage by handcrafting candles and earrings.

Addressing Employment Barriers for Survivors

The Worthy Co.’s Enrichment Program offers holistic support to survivors, addressing personal and professional development and self-care. Workdays include various activities such as typing classes, reading and discussing survivor-led material, trauma-informed yoga, and nutrition classes. These programs provide practical skills and foster a therapeutic environment where survivors can heal and grow.

The Worthy Co.'s impact extends beyond individual survivors to benefit the entire community. By creating a supportive environment where survivors can thrive, The Worthy Co. contributes to breaking the cycle of exploitation. This holistic approach not only empowers survivors but also fosters a stronger, more resilient community where everyone has the opportunity to succeed and flourish.

With every purchase from The Worthy Co, you directly support survivors, offering them economic stability and pathways for personal growth.
