CRAY Advocates provide urgent advocacy support for young people who experience commercial sexual exploitation during medical exams and law enforcement interviews. Medical exams and police interviews can take hours. As advocates it important to help keep young people as comfortable as possible. All of our CRAY Advocates are equipped with a CRAY bag to bring when they are called out to support a young person while they are getting interviewed by the police or getting medical exam. The CRAY bag contains information and resources our young people can utilize on an ongoing basis, comfort items, basic necessities, and more! Young people have shared this gesture is so helpful in making one of the hardest experiences a little brighter. Be a part of this important, tangible effort to support young people in our community by donating items and/or creating CRAY backpacks.

This is what we typically put in a backpack:

  • Blanket
  • Journal
  • Headphones
  • Water Bottle
  • Color Pencils
  • Adult Coloring Book
