Go "All In" at Our Gala — Every Ticket Protects Children

Positive Change

in the Community

Our free training programs for closing gaps in knowledge are not reserved for students alone. Each member of your community, from parents to corporate leaders, are essential members of the anti-trafficking movement.

Parents, Guardians & Caregivers

The threat of child trafficking ignites a particularly painful fear in parents, guardians, and caregivers. Rather than feeling helpless and afraid, there is power in knowledge.

This one-hour training equips parents, guardians, caregivers, and community stakeholders with critical knowledge to safeguard children in today’s digital landscape. With traffickers and predators increasingly leveraging technology, this presentation highlights the rising risks of child trafficking, sextortion, and internet crimes against children. 

In this training you will learn:

  • The effects of screen time and social media on mental health
  • Social media’s role in trafficking 
  • The realities of human trafficking in Texas
  • How to recognize online grooming and red flags 
  • The definition and impact of child sexual abuse material and sextortion
  • Insights into popular social media apps 
  • Practical guidance on discussing internet safety with children 
  • How to report suspected trafficking or exploitation
  • Resources available for support and assistance

Educators & Youth-Serving Professionals

Victims of child trafficking are attending school in rural communities as well as urban and suburban neighborhoods throughout our nation. As an educator, or other professional working with children, you play a critical role in the fight against this tragic crime.

Human trafficking is the fastest-growing criminal enterprise in the world and a very real threat to our youth. This training equips school personnel and youth-serving professionals with the knowledge and tools to prevent, identify, and report human trafficking. PPOC is a Texas Education Agency approved CPE provider

Participants gain a comprehensive understanding of what human trafficking is, how it affects students, and the risk factors and vulnerabilities that make them targets. 

The training also covers: 

  • The role of technology and social media in trafficking and exploitation
  • Potential barriers to identifying trafficking
  • Signs and red flags to watch for 
  • The grooming process, and what it looks like
  • How to respond and report suspected or disclosed trafficking using a trauma-informed approach

Community Organizations

Trafficking impacts children of every age, race, and economic status. The more we can arm the community with information for preventing child trafficking, the better we can fight a crime that relies on secrecy and thrives in the shadows of fear, shame, and desperation. 

Each of us has a role to play in the fight against child sex trafficking, exploitation, and abuse. Our community presentations provide civic organizations, clubs, places of worship, business groups, or other community gatherings the knowledge they need to:

  • Understand the magnitude of the problem and the different types of human trafficking, with an emphasis on child sex trafficking 
  • Know how our youth are being targeted
  • Recognize the signs of exploitation and trafficking
  • Report suspected trafficking or exploitation 
  • Prevent child trafficking before it happens

Attendees will leave the presentation with the understanding that each of us has a role to play in the fight against child sex trafficking, exploitation, and abuse. The time for action is now. We all must work together to protect our children.

Youth in the Community

Our goal is to engage, educate, and empower youth across the country.  In addition to the outreach of our student-led Youth Action Boards, this one-hour presentation unpacks what human trafficking is and what students need to know to keep themselves and their friends safe.

Rather than a fear-based approach, this presentation takes an empowering tone using age-appropriate, research-based, trauma-informed, and survivor-informed information. The experience is interactive. We don’t just talk at or to youth, but with them.

Youth participating in this one-hour presentation will learn:

  • What to look for? Warning signs and red flags for potential danger.
  • Why does it happen? How circumstances, life choices, and social media factor in.
  • Staying Safe: Healthy relationships & social media safety.
  • Getting Help: Who is a trusted person, and how to ask for help?
  • Making a Difference: How students can be part of the solution!

The Need for Knowledge

Corporate Social Responsibility

Human Trafficking 101 for Employees

A company’s success is measured by more than its financial wealth. The commitment it makes to the health and security of its employees, as well as the community it calls home, speaks volumes for its corporate integrity. 

Our online Human Trafficking 101 training modules provide your employees with the knowledge they need for recognizing the red flags of trafficking and how to report it.

Empowering Youth at Risk
