Walsh University Campus
Human Trafficking Awareness Event and One-Mile Freedom Walk: Join us for an event of local community education and action to bring awareness to human trafficking. Hear from a keynote speaker and a human trafficking survivor, followed by a one-mile freedom walk. We walk in silence for those who have been silenced through the tragedy of human trafficking. In partnership with Walsh University.
Our 2022 Plans
Community Awareness Events: We plan to provide education and partner with organizations at local events throughout the year.
Educate Students: We are working hard to get into our local middle schools and high schools so we can empower our youth and prevent them from becoming victims of human trafficking.
Educate 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 about human trafficking.
Collaborate: The heart of our organization is to work with local agencies, organizations, and officials so that we can make a bigger impact in our community and state. We have partnered with Walsh University, PATHS, Stark County Juvenile Task Force, and A21.
