Educators
WHAT YOU CAN DO
As an educator, you have tremendous potential to teach and influence hundreds, if not thousands, of young lives to become activists speaking out against modern-day slavery, and who they themselves, may be at risk of human trafficking. Learn how to become an activist and teach your students to do the same! Below are helpful lesson plans and resources to educate the future generation in your classroom.
