Core offering

The Delores Barr Weaver Policy Center advances the rights of girls and young women ages 10–24 in Northeast Florida through five interconnected model programs—school-based prevention (See the Girl: In Elementary and In the Middle), community-based care management (See the Girl: In the Community), survivor services for commercially sexually exploited youth (See the Girl: Open Doors), and a girl-led leadership council. The Center complements these direct services with research publications, legislative advocacy on issues such as child marriage bans and safe harbor protections, and training/credentialing programs (Girl-Centered Practice Institute and the annual See the Girl Summit) for professionals who work with girls.

Product overview

The Delores Barr Weaver Policy Center operates as a nonprofit service organization offering a portfolio of five interrelated model programs centered on the 'See the Girl' mission. The core offerings include See the Girl: In Elementary, In the Middle, In the Community, and Open Doors—each serving different populations and intervention points from elementary school prevention through commercial sexual exploitation survivor support. These programs are complemented by the Girls' Leadership Council for youth empowerment, the Girl-Centered Practice Training Institute for professional development, and the annual See the Girl Summit for field-wide knowledge sharing. All programming is underpinned by research publications and legislative advocacy to advance systemic reform.

Direct peers

• GEMS (Girls Educational and Mentoring Services): GEMS is a New York-based nonprofit serving girls and young women survivors of commercial sexual exploitation and domestic trafficking, the same population served by DBWPC's Open Doors program. Its survivor-led model, advocacy work, and direct services to commercially exploited youth make it the closest direct peer.
• Rights4Girls: Rights4Girls is a human rights organization focused on the rights of girls and young women in the U.S. justice system, including trafficking survivors. Its combination of research, policy advocacy, and direct service for justice-impacted girls makes it a mission-aligned peer.
• My Life My Choice: My Life My Choice, a program of the Justice Resource Institute, provides survivor-led mentoring and prevention services to commercially sexually exploited and at-risk girls and young women in Massachusetts. Its survivor-mentor model and exploitation-prevention curriculum directly parallel DBWPC's Open Doors approach.
• National Crittenton Foundation: National Crittenton advocates for girls and young women of color impacted by the child welfare and juvenile justice systems. It focuses on gender-responsive, trauma-informed approaches, closely mirroring DBWPC's model programming and advocacy orientation.

Broad incumbents

• National Center for Youth Law: NCYL is a longstanding national legal advocacy organization advancing the rights of system-involved youth, including in juvenile justice and child welfare. While broader than DBWPC in population scope, its advocacy and litigation work overlaps DBWPC's policy-reform mission.
• Coalition for Juvenile Justice: CJJ is a national nonpartisan coalition advancing juvenile justice reform and equity through state advisory groups and federal policy work. Its system-reform focus overlaps with DBWPC's advocacy agenda, though it operates at a national policy layer rather than direct service.
• National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges: NCJFCJ is a national judicial membership organization improving court practice in juvenile and family law. It is connected to DBWPC's work via Board Member Shay Bilchik (Georgetown CJJR) and shares the system-reform target audience of judges and court practitioners.

Others

• National Women's Law Center: NWLC is a leading national civil rights organization advancing gender equity through policy advocacy and litigation. It is adjacent rather than directly competitive but shares DBWPC's gender-equality and girls'-rights policy orientation at a much larger national scale.
• Polaris Project: Polaris operates the U.S. National Human Trafficking Hotline and drives anti-trafficking systems change nationally. It is a major peer in the anti-trafficking field adjacent to DBWPC's Open Doors program, though its scale and federal orientation differ from DBWPC's regional direct-service model.

Regional players

• Sanctuary for Families: Sanctuary for Families is a New York City-based nonprofit providing shelter, legal, clinical, and advocacy services to survivors of domestic violence, sex trafficking, and related exploitation. Its service model for trafficking survivors overlaps DBWPC's Open Doors, but its primary geography is the New York metro area.
