Dear Friend,
Our mission to build a safer society by supporting individuals leaving violent extremism, along with providing support for their friends and family members, continues to grow and evolve in meaningful ways.
We’re particularly encouraged by our expanding partnerships with judicial institutions, which have led to an increase in court-mandated participants in our programs. This development not only validates our evidence-based interventions but also highlights the growing recognition of ExitUSA’s vital role in creating pathways out of extremism.
The demand for our services continues to demonstrate the critical need for this work. In January alone, our team provided 91 hours of direct support to participants. These hours represent countless conversations, breakthroughs, and steps toward positive change and a safer society.
Our team remains committed to our core values of compassion with accountability. We believe this approach is crucial in supporting lasting transformation for those who come to us for help.
None of this work would be possible without advocates like you. Your continued trust and support enable us to meet the growing needs of our community and expand our impact.
Thank you for being part of this important mission.
Please consider donating today.
