the Prevention Project

💬 "It's important because it moves human trafficking from a 'scary movie' idea to a real-world reality. Its biggest impact is teaching students how to spot grooming and red flags before they get caught in a dangerous situation."

— Prevention Project Student
Education changes lives.
When students learn to recognize grooming behaviors and warning signs before exploitation occurs, they're better equipped to protect themselves and others.

That's the power of prevention and early intervention.

📚 The Prevention Project: Middle School Edition

The Prevention Project™ Middle School curriculum is designed specifically for classroom learning and helps students build knowledge year after year.

Each grade level expands on the next with age-appropriate lessons covering:
✔️ Online safety

✔️ Safe decision-making skills

Early prevention education matters — and every middle school student deserves access to it.

Human trafficking isn't just happening somewhere else—it's happening in our own communities.

We were honored to partner with Hampton Economic Development to host a Human Trafficking 101 training for community members across Hampton Roads. Around 18 participants representing Hampton, Newport News, Portsmouth, and surrounding localities joined us to learn about the realities of human trafficking, recognize warning signs, and discover how they can help prevent exploitation.

The group was engaged, asked thoughtful questions, and left with a greater understanding of this critical issue.

We're incredibly grateful to Hampton Economic Development for their partnership and commitment to raising awareness by creating opportunities like this for the public. Together, we can build safer, more informed communities.
