Preventing Children and Youth in Foster Care From Becoming Victims of Human Trafficking

A shelter is a foster care placement where a group of foster children and teenagers reside, supervised by limited staff members. Children and teens living in shelters are at a higher risk for human trafficking.

We bridge the gap between foster care and adoption agencies and potential families. We strive to get children and youth out of shelters and into healthy, safe, and loving families, so they are at a lower risk of being trafficked.

We address gaps in foster child and youth education by providing one-on-one education with individualized academic plans through Made to Thrive Academy. We aim to prevent youth from aging out of foster care without a high school diploma, to reduce the risk of them becoming victims of human trafficking.
