Ron Turner talks with Corinne Kopsky, Director of Operations at Salt and Light Coalition in Chicago, highlighting how the organization empowers women recovering from human trafficking and exploitation through faith-based, trauma-informed job training. Kopsky explains that survivors often face criminal records, low self-esteem, and lack of work experience. The six-month program combines spiritual renewal, fitness, nutrition, and workforce development, offering certifications, mentorship, and job placement. Results show a 25% boost in self-esteem and average salaries of $50K. Entire families benefit—children thrive, graduates give back, and faith-driven community partnerships sustain lasting recovery and hope. (https://saltandlightcoalition.com)
