1018 Strategy

INCREASE CHILD EXPLOITATION AWARENESS. EMPOWER CHILD-CENTERED ADVOCACY. MOBILIZE COMMUNITY CTION.

AWARENESS PROGRAM: WE EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ON THE HIDDEN REALITIES OF CHILD EXPLOITATION IN THE UNITED STATES AND THE SOCIAL IMPACTS ON OUR FAMILIES AND OUR COMUNITIES. ONE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT MISSION FIELDS IN CRISIS IS IN OUR BACKYARDS. WE INFORM AND PROPEL THE PUBLIC TO BE THE SOLUTION THROUGH A HOPE-FILLED MESSAGE THAT "WE THE PEOPLE" ARE THE CATALYST OF CHANGE FOR EXPLOITED CHILDREM. ADVOCACY PROGRAM: ADVOCACY IS ABOUT EDUCATING, EQUIPPING, AND EMPOWERING INDIVIDUALS OF ALL EXPERIENCE LEVELS TO BE AN EFFECTIVE VOICE FOR CHILDREN. BY PROVIDING ONLINE TRAINING, IN PERSON TRAINING, ADVOCACY COACHING, & RESOURCES, WE EMPOWER THEM WITH THE CONFIDENCE AND SKILLS NEEDED TO PROTECT KIDS THROUGH PREVENTATIVE ACTION AND CHILDENTERED ACVOCACY. SO THEY CAN BE A VOICE THAT TURNS THEIR OUTCRY FOR JUSTICE INTO A PRACTICAL AND STRATEGIC ACTION PLAN TO IMPACT THE LIVES OF CHILDREN THAT PRODUCES POSITIVE OUTCOMES. ACTION PROGRAM: WE MOBILIZE INDIVIDUALS AND COMMUNITIES TO TAKE ACTION AND PROTECT THE KIDS AROUND THEM BY CREATING A SAFETY NET TO CATCH AS MANY KIDS WHO FALL THROUGH THE GAPS OF SOCIAL SERVICES AS POSSIBLE. CREATING SAFE AND LOVING SPACES WHERE THEY CAN SEE THEIR COMMUNITIY RISING TO PROTECT THEM. WE DO THIS BY ENGAGING CITIZENS TO SHARE THE CAUSE, SERVE THE COMMUNITY, & SUPPORT THE MISSION. OUR PRIMARY ACCOMPLISHMENTS THIS YEAR: WE CHOSE TO LAUNCH OUR OUR ORGANIZATION TO THE KANSAS CITY COMMUNITY THROUGH OUR OUTREACH ACTION PROGRAM. WE DID THIS FIRST TO BUILD RAPPORT, TRUST, AND RELATIONSHIPS WITHIN OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY. THIS WAY, WE COULD IMMEDIATELY IMPACT TRAUMATIZED AND ENDANGERED CHILDREN WITHIN OUR KANSAS CITY METRO COMMUNITY. IN 2021, WE COMPLETED THREE COMMUNITY EVENTS, PARTNERED WITH DOZENS OF LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS, AND HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF SERVING OVER 2,200 CHILDREN. SIMULTANEOUSLY, WE ALSO COMPLETED OVER 600 HOURS OF COLLABORATION WITH CHILD ADVOCACY AND WELFARE PROFESSIONALS, AND STARTED PRODUCING ONLINE TRAINING FOR THE ADVOCACY PROGRAM. ALSO, WE COMPLETED AN INDEPTH RESEARCH/ANALYSIS OF 20 YEARS WORTH OF FEDERAL REPORTS FOR OUR AWARENESS PROGRAM AS WELL AS CONDUCTED A NATIONAL SURVEY. OVER THE LAST 2.5 YEARS, EVERYTHING WE HAV ACCOMPLISHED HAS BEEN THROUGH THE EFFORTS OF A COMMITTED AND PASSIONATE VOLUNTEER-ONLY TEAM. IN ADDTION, IN 2021, WE WERE SHOCKED BY THE PUBLIC'S NEED FOR ADVOCAY COACHING AND WE HELPED MORE THAN 50 CHILDREN IN IMMINENT PHYSICAL DANGER.
