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

Youth In Action

We believe in the power and potential of youth to lead the fight in ending child trafficking!

Knowledge is Power

We’re the first nonprofit in the country to create a Youth Action Board program to Engage, Educate, and Empower middle and high school age students as champions in the anti-trafficking movement. Our student-club approach is easy to implement. All the age-appropriate, research-based materials are provided for free through our online community platform. The only requirement is an adult campus facilitator, who we will train, and the drive to end this tragic crime.

Opportunities To Shape Your Future

The leadership skills and passion that Project Protect Our Children nurtures in its Youth Action Board members not only strengthens the fight to end child trafficking, it sows the seeds of generational change. The future of activism and advocacy against human trafficking that you are
encouraged to pursue will benefit generations to come.

Events and anti-trafficking projects that Youth Action Board members have created for providing their peers with valuable prevention knowledge have also earned awards and commendations from multiple government officials. All Youth Action Board members receive Project Protect Our Children’s Champion Award, and many have also earned the Presidential Volunteer Service Award for their efforts.
