The Dreamcatcher Foundation is a Chicago-based non-profit organization that helps women who want to stop working in the sex industry, especially female prostitutes.
In an interview with MSNBC, Myers-Powell shared her experiences in the sex industry, which led her and Daniels-Wilson to found The Dreamcatcher Foundation.
[3] The foundation also works to help prevent at-risk youths from becoming sex workers by giving talks at high schools, and attending events to spread awareness.
[6] On September 13, 2015, Brenda Myers-Powell gave a speech named "Dreamcatcher - A Story of Personal Strength and Human Trafficking Victims" at the Ethical Humanist Society of Chicago organization.
The speech focused on sexual exploitation and human trafficking in which gave exposure to the Dreamcatcher Foundation organization and its goal to the community.
[9] The Dreamcatcher Foundation utilizes a harm reduction approach, in which they attempt to reach the sex workers in the streets as they work.
[1] Due to a lack of onsite housing for the recovering prostitutes, the Dreamcatcher Foundation must place the girls they are helping in homes and shelters across Chicago.
[12] As they aid in the reintegration of women into everyday society after traumatic life circumstances, they have been a fundamental part in the processes of passing laws to help sex-trade survivors.
[13] The Dreamcatcher Foundation hopes that with their outreach to the community and their appearances on news outlets, they will get enough donations to build their own center where they can be better equipped to help the victims.
