The Prevention of “1” victim today is one of the most important factors in our line of defense against human trafficking in the future.
Educate. Engage. Take Action.
Human trafficking is a hidden crisis affecting communities across the U.S. At Rescue 1 Global, we believe prevention is the key to stopping exploitation before it starts. Through education, community engagement, and direct outreach, we equip individuals to recognize and respond to trafficking threats effectively.
Human Trafficking 101: Training for Awareness & Action
Our Human Trafficking 101 program provides essential knowledge on how trafficking operates, empowering individuals to:
- Identify warning signs of trafficking in their communities.
- Report concerns to the appropriate authorities.
- Take proactive steps to prevent exploitation before it happens.
This program is designed for diverse audiences—including church groups, first responders, educators, and professionals—ensuring that those most likely to encounter trafficking victims are prepared to intervene.
Protecting Children from Online Exploitation
In today’s digital age, children face increased risks through social media, online platforms, and even within their own homes. Research shows that many children have unknowingly been in contact with trafficking victims. Our Kids Rescue Kids program provides age-appropriate education, equipping young audiences with the tools they need to protect themselves and their peers from exploitation.

You can be part of the fight against human trafficking by:
- Joining a Rescue 1 Global outreach team to spread awareness and take action.
- Giving financially to support prevention homes and outreach initiatives.
- Hosting a training or awareness event in your community to educate others.
- Participating in weekly outreach programs in motels, where we connect with vulnerable individuals, provide essential resources, and offer a pathway to safety and recovery.
Women’s Outreach Program: A Safe Path to Empowerment
Women are particularly vulnerable to human trafficking, and we are committed to providing ongoing support through our Women’s Outreach Program. This initiative offers:
- Weekly mentorship meetings for individual and group support.
- Essential resources including food, clothing, medical care, dental services, and health screenings.
- Collaboration with community partners to create sustainable pathways to safety, stability, and empowerment.
Equipping Medical Professionals to Identify Victims
In 2023, Rescue 1 Global partnered with American Physician Partners to develop training for medical professionals on identifying trafficking victims. With over 2,500 providers trained nationwide, healthcare professionals are now better equipped to recognize signs of trafficking and connect victims with life-saving resources.

Global Prevention Initiatives
Beyond the U.S., Rescue 1 Global is dedicated to preventing human trafficking worldwide. Since 2011, we have helped reopen six safe homes across four locations, providing at-risk youth and adults with shelter, education, and mentorship.
Global Community Impact
We work within local cultural contexts to empower communities with the tools to identify, report, and intervene in trafficking situations. By fostering sustainable, community-driven solutions, we create long-term change that protects vulnerable populations.
Missionary Outreach in Thailand
Rescue 1 Global’s missionary in Thailand is actively serving women in the Red Light District, teaching them English and providing valuable lessons and resources to give them a chance to leave a life of slavery. By equipping these women with education and new skills, we offer them opportunities for a better future, free from exploitation. This mission is a critical component of our international prevention efforts, creating pathways to freedom and self-sufficiency.
Hope Valley: A New Initiative in the Philippines
Rescue 1: Philippines is developing Hope Valley, a dedicated prevention and restoration community. Currently, we are in the process of purchasing property for this project, which will be strategically located near a church and preschool—two key preventative resources for at-risk children and families.
Expanding to Ukraine
As Ukraine faces increased risks of exploitation due to ongoing conflict, we are working to establish a Rescue 1 Global branch in the region. Our mission is to provide urgent relief, safe housing, and long-term prevention solutions to protect vulnerable populations.
