North Star Initiative

Motivated by the love of Jesus, we work to end trafficking and empower survivors to reclaim the lives they were created to enjoy through healing their whole person. We envision a community that is trafficking proof because the vulnerable are loved, equipped, connected, and healed. North Star Initiative filed its Articles of Incorporation in 2010 and became a 501(c)3 in 2012. Started by Jen Sensenig who learned about human trafficking and got involved with the police and helped take down a trafficking ring that spanned 8 states. However, she quickly realized that rescued doesn’t equal free. These women needed a place to go to heal from the trauma they experienced. The Harbor Home – first and only home in Lancaster County to help survivors of trafficking – opened in 2017. In 2024, North Star acquired another home in Berks County that also serves survivors of trafficking.
