Director of Development
Kirkland, WA.

Rescue:Freedom International is working to End Slavery one life at a time.

Created to empower local efforts with international support and expertise, we support a growing network of service providers in eight countries who are familiar with and sensitive to the culture and community within which victims live. By mobilizing resources, knowledge, and funding, we work together to restore lives broken by sexual slavery through programs such as night shelters, safe houses, medical clinics, and vocational training.

We live at the intersection of leading edge non-profits, best in class entrepreneurs and organizational thought leaders. Our culture values integrity, innovation, and performance. We are guided by our Christian history and motivated by our deep faith. We feel a key to our growth and impact is the great people we employ and we work to keep our team something that people want to be part of for a long time.
