Hi my name is Grace O. and I am the creator of the Don't Become a Victim educational website. I am a Girl Scout in San Diego, California, actively representing Girl Scouts as a member. I have completed my Bronze and Silver Award, and recently received my Gold Award. As part of the requirements for my Gold Award, I was asked to complete at least an eighty hour leadership project. For my project, I choose to raise awareness with today's youth about the dangers of human trafficking and how not to become a victim through mainstream media.   

As a daughter of federal prosecutor, I became interested in educating my peers and being an advocate on this very important topic after hearing the horrific details in a human trafficking trial. The community partner I worked with educated me on how significant of a global issue this is and how teens are being targeted through social media. As a teen myself, I knew this was something that I needed to educate my peers about. 

Through this Gold Award and this website, I am hoping to be a lifelong advocate for this cause.
