Community Freedom Summit
September 28, 2024
Walsh University Campus
For our 2023 Community Freedom Summit, hundreds of people from our community rallied together, carried signs, and walked in silence as an outward expression to raise awareness of human trafficking.
Our One-Mile Freedom Walk is a powerful statement for freedom and justice for those who have been silenced by the tragedy of human trafficking. We are a voice for the voiceless!

Awareness Events
Throughout the year, we host awareness events, fundraising opportunities, and speaking engagements to shine a light on human trafficking. We believe there is strength in numbers and your contribution makes an impact – one life at a time.
Collaboration and Partnership: The heart of our organization is to work with local agencies, organizations, and officials to continue making an impact in our community and state by providing education at local events. We partner with Walsh University, PATHS, Stark County Juvenile Task Force, and A21.
Educate Students: We work continuously to get into our local middle schools and high schools so we can educate and empower our youth and prevent them from becoming victims of human trafficking.
Corporations and Businesses: Each year we reach out to businesses in our community and provide opportunities to educate them on human trafficking. Whether in-person or virtual, we are working to spread awareness with business professionals to know the truth and the signs of human trafficking.
