Contributed by Juliah/ MY HOUSE MY House Mat-Su Youth Housing’s third and newest social enterprise, REDEMPTION, is a sustainable loungewear clothing line made from luxury hotel linens with a mission to provide job training for MY House clients and raise awareness about the human trafficking pandemic in Alaska. In 2022, REDEMPTION set up shop and began working with Alaskan hotels such as Captain Cook and the Holland America Line to upcycle their cozy bed linens into loungewear. This clothing is produced by clients through paid internships from NineStar Employment Education Services. The job training is designed to equip interns with the skills needed to operate sewing machines in Alaska’s growing sewn product manufacturing industry. It also provides valuable training in other aspects of the business, such as modeling & photography, social media, clothing design and customer service. This program works with MY House’s trafficking recovery treatment program, coordinated by Staci Yates, Director of
