Your Gift Today is Life-Saving
180 Degrees/Brittany’s Place is Minnesota’s first and largest program for youth who have experienced sex trafficking.
No child should experience the trauma of sex trafficking. Yet, every year the number of girls, ages 10-20, who seek safe shelter at Brittany's Place grows. Since opening in 2014, over 2000 Minnesota girls have accessed safe shelter and healing at Brittany's Place.
Last year, Brittany's Place responded to over 700 youth in crisis due to sexual exploitation and trafficking. With your help, services have expanded to include street outreach, one-to-one text support for those not in shelter, and a new 5-bedroom residence opening in 2025.
180 Degrees is a BIPOC-led organization. 50% of Executive Leaders and 100% of Shelter Program Managers are BIPOC ensuring leadership and decision-making are guided by diverse perspectives.

Donate Today!
First Time Donors: Your Gift Today Can Unlock $50,000 more to prevent sex trafficking of Minnesota youth.
$50,000 Impact: Your donation today will have a $50,000 impact. The Richard M. Schulze Foundation has agreed to award us $50,000 if we can meet the $50,000 baseline goal from new donors. However, it is "All or Nothing." If we don't meet this goal, we cannot receive the matching transformative gift from the foundation.
Please make your gift today. You donation will provide 24-hour safe shelter and specialized trauma services, getting girls out of harm's way to begin healing and moving forward in positive, new directions.
High Need: The demand for youth emergency shelter is at an all-time high. Help us meet this $50,000 Challenge with a gift today. Together, we can direct more resources to vulnerable youth in our community.
