Our Mission
To provide Healing and Opportunities for victims of human trafficking, Prevention and Education for communities.
It is important that survivors get opportunities for furthering their education and fair labor practices. We build relationships with local businesses to be able to provide jobs for survivors who are ready to work, and we partner with local programs which teach life skills, job training skills, and assist with GED and other educational programs.

We present various awareness events and training. We speak to the community, civic, business, educational and church groups. We can design an awareness event or training for you or your group with various options on length and content.
We provide prevention by training in the public school system, at children and youth events, through church youth groups, and special events sponsored by communities.
