MISSION
Empower Individuals to Prevent Human Trafficking in their Community
VISION
To End Human Trafficking in the United States
Empowerment
We work together with the communities and people we serve to develop our solutions and programs, instead of developing our solutions in an ivory tower and assuming we know best. In each of our initiatives, we first seek input from those we seek to empower and then develop that initiative with the knowledge gained from those interactions.
Integrity
We will demonstrate an unwavering commitment to honesty, moral principles, and ethical practices in all aspects of our operations and decision-making. We embody our commitment to act honestly, responsibly, and ethically in all aspects of our work. We demonstrate integrity to our donors by ensuring transparency in our financial practices, honoring donor intent, and diligently stewarding the resources entrusted to us for maximum impact. To our stakeholders, we exhibit integrity by upholding our commitments, communicating openly about our successes and challenges, and steering all stakeholder relationships in service of our mission.
Dignity
We hold the inherent dignity of every person in the highest regard and strive to protect it in all our endeavors. Human trafficking is never the fault of the individual involved, and all our approaches consider ways to prevent traffickers from taking advantage of the individual instead of criticizing their situation or decisions.
Accountability
We believe in providing clear and accurate information about our financial practices ensuring that resources are utilized responsibly and in alignment with our mission to eradicate human trafficking. We will publish a yearly annual report showing how funds have been spent and the impact of our programs, as well as file our 990s on-time and post filed 990s public on our website.
Collaboration
We recognize the strength in unity and actively seek partnerships to maximize our impact in the fight against human trafficking. We actively work to collaborate with law enforcement and government agencies, nonprofits, private companies, and individuals on each of our initiatives to gain a better perspective on empowering people to fight trafficking, to develop stronger initiatives than we could on our own, and to deliver feedback on how we can improve our programs to end human trafficking once and for all.
