Empty Frames Initiative is inspired and driven by the heart of the Father. We believe everyone is created with a purpose. EFI looks to empower orphaned and vulnerable youth as they transition out of state care by providing training in life skills, counseling, community, and access to the Gospel. Miriam Cobb is founder and director at Empty Frames Initiative, a non-profit dedicated to empowering orphaned and vulnerable youth as they transition out of state care. Within this role Miriam advocates for youth exiting care, compiles new and successful resources for this population, and develops programs and curricula to meet this international need. This includes EFI's photography based literacy program being utilized in these sessions, Storytelling Through Photography. In 2019 Miriam served on the North Carolina Coalition Against Human Trafficking Board of Directors, chairing the Community/Faith Based committee. She continues bringing awareness to the intersection of human trafficking and state care, seeing this as a need that is often misunderstood or unmentioned in the discussion of human trafficking.
