Mission Ambassadors and Survivor Leadership

Together we've educated and trained over 9,000 youth, parents and teachers in the past two and half years. We impact our communities through powerful conversations saving our children from being lured into this dark world.

We have an incredible team of Survivor Leaders that work closely with us to ensure we continue to be survivor informed and guided. This group is comprised of 3 warriors and mental health professional. Due to the sensitive nature of survivors their names and pictures are not posted for their safety. They are our hero's and we are forever grateful for them sharing their wisdom with us.
Together we can make a difference and end modern day slavery.
