About the R.A.I.S.E. Program
RAISE (Recognize, Assist, Inform, and Empower) is a meticulously designed anti human trafficking program delivered to youth in foster care and community settings. This program, led by survivors equips students to identify signs of trafficking, understand high-risk locations, and recognize trafficker profiles and methods. More than just education, it's about equipping youth with knowledge of their rights, especially highlighting legal perspectives on coercion and sexual crimes.
Each presentation from sex trafficking survivors, provides real-world context and relatable experiences. The program also delves into the perils of online grooming, demonstrating how traffickers target and exploit youth through digital platforms.

R.A.I.S.E. Program Goals
The overarching goal of RAISE is to dismantle the victimization of human trafficking through proactive community awareness and education of children and youth about its prevalence and severity. By increasing awareness, RAISE aims to safeguard schools, homes, and communities, reducing the incidence of violence, physical harm, and emotional trauma linked to human trafficking.
A critical aspect of RAISE is its emphasis on fostering and nurturing healthy interpersonal relationships among youth, an essential element in mitigating the risks of human trafficking.
Through this program, we aspire to create a ripple effect of awareness and empowerment, contributing to a future where human trafficking is not just reduced, but eradicated.
