Fierce Freedom

Trafficking Awareness and Prevention, and Interdiction training for individuals who may interact with victims or potential victims: Training programs are provided for school staff and faculty to help them identify students who may be at risk for or currently be victims of trafficking. These training sessions are usually a part of teacher's in-service sessions.. Programming has also been developed and implemented with area municipal and county law enforcement agencies to provide officers with skills to identify victims of trafficking and to use existing laws and legal procedures to give victims opportunity to be removed from their situation. General human trafficking awareness training is also given to many community, church and social organizations to heighten awareness of the issue and to empower individuals to know what signs to look for in their communities and how to report suspicious activity.

At Risk Youth: Programs with youth who are in situations that put them at especially high risk for trafficking. This includes programming in the Eau Claire Country Juvenile Detentions Center and working with homeless youth.

Worth It: A program for presentation in middle and high schools."Worth It: is a thought provoking presentation that follows the story of a teenage trafficking victim/survivor that will leave teenagers believing that they can be a part of the solution simply by believing in themselves, understanding their vulnerabilities and by cultivating honest and meaningful friendships with those around them. A great presentation alone will not bring lasting change, which is why the Fierce Freedom presenter will also spend time working with a group of student leaders to create a Fierce Friends Club so that the message of healthy friendships, value, and worth along with awareness to the realities of human trafficking and exploitation continues. The goal is to create a safe and healthy learning environment. Finally, working with students will only be effective with the support of parents and caretakers. This is why Fierce Freedom offers an evening presentation, offering adults tools and understanding to support and protect their students.
