Our mission is to combat human trafficking by empowering communities, law enforcement and decision makers to prevent, identify, and respond to trafficking through innovative research, education, and empowered action.

Our vision is to create lasting, transformative change that protects vulnerable individuals from human trafficking and promotes justice for survivors of human trafficking.

Mission

Vision

Research & Intelligence

Conducting offender-informed and survivor informed field research that reveals grooming patterns, trafficking networks, and exploitation tactics. Our intelligence drives prevention strategies and policy recommendations grounded in empirical evidence.

Education & Prevention

Delivering evidence-based training programs to law enforcement, educators, parents, and community leaders. We focus on pre-crime awareness-teaching stakeholders to recognize grooming behaviors before exploitation occurs.

Policy & Legislative Advocacy

Influencing federal and state policy through testimony, Congressional briefings, and strategic advocacy. GUARD ensures that legislation reflects frontline realities and incorporates prevention-focused approaches.

Consulting & Strategic Solutions

Providing specialized consulting to organizations, corporations, and government agencies seeking to develop anti-trafficking protocols, employee training programs, and community protection strategies.

Coalition Building & Strategic Alliances

Building partnerships with law enforcement agencies, international organizations, faith communities, technology companies, and NGOs to create coordinated, multi-sector responses to trafficking threats.

Each pillar reinforces the others.
Research informs education. Education shapes policy. Policy drives systemic change. And strategic alliances multiply our impact exponentially.
