Sex worker/Stripper Charity Tech Camp

I want to start a charity camp for sex workers and strippers where they go to a free camp and get taught a technology certification like A+. >There can even be a shorts on screening clients with tech (though the goal is to get them out of sex work, at least they will be seeing somewhat safer clients since they are heavily screened)<
How to avoid being caught in a sting or beaten and robbed by your pimp or john --- Brought to you by Gangsta's Gold Grilles and Pimp Yo Own Sef, Inc.

I want it to be a camp where they come, have a stable roof over their head, are fed healthy foods, and can learn in an environment where they feel safe to ask all the newbie questions they want.

There would have to be a class on how to get a real job with a prostitution or drug charge on your record.

There would also be an post graduation class where they learn how to write a resume and practice interviewing skills. There would also be a career center available where the girls would have help in finding a real world job using their new certification.

I need sponsorship. Anyone have any ideas on companies that would not be ashamed to sponsor this? Originally Posted by honeydavis

This is along the lines of the classes you may find with certain rehab programs and while sponsorship is sometimes available, most acquire their major funding through other social service programs or even LE facility connections. See red above.

There can never be enough of the kind of help of which you speak but including programs that "help" with "practicing" parts of the sex worker industry would be almost like having some sort of post-conviction class teaching counterfeiters to cut the edges of their fake Benjamins straighter.

The two concepts could reinforce some of the conventional wisdom that says penal institutions are good training grounds for breeding more sophisticated crooks. The interaction allows them to share information on how to be better at breaking the law.

All in all, it is a worthwhile idea with very well-conceived and needed training. However, it would be hard to mix the two concepts you put forth and do it safely. Certainly, getting sponsorship would be tough while the two were linked.

Partnering the training portion with existing businesses that offer screening services and that have secure offshore or international websites that don't interfere with U.S.regulations might be a better way to train on safety, security and training issues.

I wish you well in your endeavors. There are a lot of casualties in this hobby that do need the education of which you speak.

If you have negative comments, you are missing the point. I thought of all people this crowd would have loved this idea.



Stevie: point taken. I'm allergic to red tape and that one point you mentioned looks like nothing but. I appreciate the kind words. I would love to know you. Please pm with what contact info you are willing to hand out.

The providers I know on this board would have no use for your technology/screening service and are in it by choice. If they are on the boards, they know how to screen & they know how to use technology. Many experienced providers already offer this service (without room & board) on a one on one basis to new providers when they ask. This is not the right audience for your idea. I don't know any eccie providers who are homeless or can't eat.

You also have conflicting goals. You can't teach a provider how to run her biz with less risk and then expect her to want to leave the hobby.

Your intentions might have been good, but I think the feedback you are getting in this thread is valid & a good hint to rethink your plan.

Ps. No decent company would support that!

Good luck, and that was nice of you to think of others!
