Course Tracks

Strategic Investigation

Learn how to identify and document public cases of modern-day slavery by examining the anatomy of human trafficking cases.  Explore how to work with fellow abolitionists to eradicate slavery in your own backyards.

Just Market Supply Chains

Everyday we unwittingly perpetuate the crime of human trafficking by purchasing goods that are tainted with forced labor.  Attend the Supply Chain Academy to unpack the story behind the barcode, and learn how we, as consumers, have the power, to help eradicate modern-day slavery.  Attending the Supply Chain Academy is only the first step.  Graduates of this Academy have the opportunity to not only change their personal consumption habits, but also become “grassroots consumer advocates” in the community by spreading the word to their peers.

Active Faith Communities

Learn why faith communities are integral in the fight against modern-day slavery and how joining the Abolitionist Faith Network can help set the captives free.

Innovative Aftercare

Everyday children, women, and men are bought and sold.  When emancipated they face the battle of restoring their lives.  This track is designed to teach cutting-edge techniques that provide support, care, and restoration for survivors of human trafficking.

Effective Healthcare

Learn from the experts how to identify and assist victims and survivors of human trafficking in your health care setting.

NOTE: Exact course offerings are dependent on the number of registered attendees and are subject to change at any time.
