Human Trafficking Specialist I, II, III

Agency Overview
Originally founded as Women’s Transitional Living Center (WTLC) in 1976, Radiant Futures is the oldest domestic violence program in Orange County and the third oldest in the nation. Originally established as an emergency shelter, Radiant Futures has since evolved into a multiservice organization dedicated to ending the cycle of violence through a trauma-informed, survivor-driven approach. Today, we are equipped to respond to the nuanced needs of survivors of both domestic violence and human trafficking, and we continue our tradition of evolving to meet their needs through the constant pursuit of innovative programs and evidence-based best practices.
Our programs fall under three major categories: Bridge Housing, Supportive Services, and Community Education and Advocacy. Through our three-fold approach, Radiant Futures strives to meet the needs of survivors of any gender, their children, and survivors often not served by other programs. Uniquely tailored to the needs of survivors and their families, our programs are rooted in the understanding that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to safety, recovery, and self-sufficiency.
