Dear John,
Would you know it if you saw it?
Every day in America, children are being bought and sold for sex.
It’s called “sex trafficking.” It’s modern-day slavery. And it’s a booming business.
But as you support Shared Hope, you can take action to prevent it through training and awareness.
1. Training
You’ll increase the identification of those victimized and vulnerable to trafficking and improve the response of service providers and justice systems.
Through our training programs and resources, you can equip professionals and community members like yourself to recognize the signs of trafficking and advance the network of protection offered to its brave survivors.
- Our annual JuST Conference is the nation's leading conference on Juvenile Sex Trafficking (JuST).
- These conferences provide practical knowledge and hands-on training to raise awareness and to ultimately end trafficking in communities like yours. Click here to learn more!
- At the same time, you’re helping us provide a wealth of training materials, videos, and guides for first responders, law enforcement, teachers, social workers, and concerned friends like yourself. I encourage you to visit our online store for educational films, outstanding training materials, unique curriculum intervention resources, fact sheets, and more.
2. Awareness
For the sake of every victimized and vulnerable person, Shared Hope is energizing the national conversation around the issue of trafficking.
Your generous support of Shared Hope is also expanding discussion, education, and action through several proven trafficking prevention education initiatives.
- Our trained volunteer Ambassadors of Hope educate, equip, and connect communities to prevent sex trafficking in their neighborhoods. Ambassadors of Hope are people just like you - everyday advocates looking for to engage in the movement to end sex trafficking. Become an Ambassador today!
- Our Faith in Action Kit is designed to equip pastors and ministry leaders with a comprehensive array of tools to raise awareness in local churches and communities.
- Chosen is our youth sex trafficking prevention film and resource pack. It tells the true story of two All-American teenage girls tricked into trafficking — and equips you with practical resources and strategies to spread awareness and prevent trafficking. It is a must-see film series for teens and adults alike.
And there’s still more. Through Shared Hope, you are:
- teaching minors the tactics of traffickers so they can avoid dangerous situations and
- training professionals how to interpret the signs of trafficking to identify the victim.
We are dedicated to bringing an end to sex trafficking.
With the prayers and support of friends like you, we will stop trafficking once and for all. Thank you!
