Overview
The Center partners with Tribal Nations and Tribal-serving organizations in a collaborative and creative process to build their capacity to serve all victims of human trafficking. The Center meets Tribes and organizations where they are in promoting human trafficking education, strengthening healing services, and identifying resources. There is no-cost to participate in any of the Center’s programs or receive the Center’s services.
Each survivor human trafficking is unique and central to guiding their healing path. Creating spaces where those who have experienced human trafficking can be heard and seen starts with education.
