Champion for Vibrant Health Spotlight: Magdalena’s Daughters  

Ashley Hill was working as an LMFT in the County of San Bernardino when she witnessed a disturbing trend: the number of adolescent children, most of whom were girls in foster youth, becoming victims of sexual trafficking. Like many nonprofit leaders, she didn’t set out to do this work; the work found her. In 2018, she founded Magdalena’s Daughters, which provides a unique residential therapeutic program to empower young victims of sex trafficking.

Magdalena’s Daughters was one of 60 nonprofits in the Inland Empire that participated in our Collaborative Capacity Building Grant program earlier this year. Learn more about how the local nonprofit cultivates healthy living among foster and vulnerable youth across the region.
