Training for School Staff
Through a trauma-informed approach, participants are trained to identify physical signs and behaviors that could indicate a student is being victimized. They are also equipped with the resources needed to report cases of human trafficking and connect victims with the proper professionals.
Student Curriculum
PROTECT’s goal is to prevent the crime before it starts. Through PROTECT curriculum delivered by trained educators, students are taught to identify abusive tactics and signs of exploitation both online and in person, helping to keep themselves and others safe.

From a Teacher
“As a father, teacher, and coach, I have spent most of my adult life surrounded by kids. Until this training, I had never really thought about human trafficking and the effects it can have on kids. Yes, I was aware of the problem, but to be honest, I never realized it was such a big issue. Looking back, I feel confident that I didn't miss any of the warning signs from former students or athletes. Going through the training has opened my eyes and provided tools and resources I can use to better identify the telltale signs. l know the connections that I make with students will help me to better identify and assist them.”
From a Licensee
"I am very concerned about the prevalence of human trafficking in my community. There is more trafficking going on in our immediate area than people realize. Children do not always realize they are being trafficked
or abused until they are educated and realize that the things we are talking about aligning with their daily lives. Through this education, I am confident that I can recognize the signs that someone is being trafficked and can provide
resources and help so that they can get out of the situation that they are in."
From a Teacher
"I've learned that anyone can play a role in stopping human trafficking. Though most of the information was shocking to hear, it was very informative in stopping human trafficking. There were a few key takes, such as learning to change the phrasing of your words and even family can be a source of the problem. We must allow the student to express what happened to them versus asking them why it happened. By knowing who our students are, we should be able to put these tools into practice and prevent any human trafficking. We are a team and we must be able to help one another out in all types of situations."
