Overview

Mission

The identification, assistance, and restoration of individuals affected by human trafficking and exploitation.

What it reported doing in 2022

Outreach and awareness: free for life equips and strengthens communities through education and outreach. Our goal is to create concerned citizens who observe and respond to potential trafficking situations around them. We focus this program in the middle Tennessee area. In this fiscal year, 60 people were educated to be concerned citizens. In addition to general outreach and awareness, free for life prevents human trafficking through a unique curriculum that empowers at-risk youth across languages and cultures the materials teach healthy boundaries, safe support networks, and how to prevent, identify, and respond to trafficking dangers. The prevention curriculum has been implemented in the united states and multiple international locations, training a total of 98 orphans and foster care practitioners, educators and government officials this fiscal year.
