Our student focused educational programs and workshops start with Samantha's journey of being targeted, romanced and recruited by two ‘friends’ in school, betraying her trust, ensuring she is forced into sex trafficking. We show how the traffickers and recruiters use coercion, guilt and manipulation to gain a child's trust and then threatens them, which entraps them in the sex trade.
After the film we have very straight impactful conversations that leave them empowered with ways to prevent this from happening to them or their friends.

Educational Programs and WorkshopsWe've trained and educated over 6,000 teens and youth since Jan 2017 - from Orlando to Washington D.C.
Our educational programs educate how quickly children can become victims of this silent crime. We discuss methods used to recruit and keep children trapped. Our unique programs have our participants engaged and empowered to make solid choices and avoid potentially dangerous situations. See our list of programs below. We also have opportunities for the students to share what they learned and to create 'social media' campaign ideas to help share important information and educate their community, in their language. |
In our 4 hour training course, we invite the students to share what they learned through art, using a social media style of communication. The message is impactful and clearly resonates with the students!
Below are some examples of their work.
