Project Goal: $25,000
Contributions of any amount help us reach these goals.
We believe that heading off human trafficking recruitment before it begins is one of the most effective contributions we can make to ending modern slavery. To date, 11,500+ students have been equipped to recognize red flags through this prevention program. Now available for online learning, kNOw MORE! utilizes the same student-centered multimedia teaching style with dramas that have shifted to film, live storytelling, discussion and Survivor leadership. This program continues to be free to San Diego County public schools and is flexible in it's online delivery to work with the needs of specific classrooms. This coming year we hope to expand the program to offer it to community groups, faith congregations and youth organizations. Learn more here.
