Empowering Against Exploitation

About

Mission

Transformation Freedom Initiative (TFI) Empowers Against Exploitation by raising awareness and prevention of human trafficking in Central Virginia and parts of the Shenandoah Valley. This is done through offering audience specific presentations, occupation specific training, youth programs on safety and human trafficking prevention, and youth worker training opportunities. TFI connects these resources with local organizations or community members, covers all costs associated, and implements resources as needed.

Thank you for walking with, praying for, and giving towards this work!

Resources

General

Audience Specific Presentations

Are you a parent, Kiwanis or Rotary club member, church leader, or just interested in learning more about human trafficking? TFI will meet you where you are with context specific information on human trafficking, its relevance, and practical steps you can take to prevent it.

Occupation Specific Training

TFI will work with any industry or sector to provide training on human trafficking prevention, identification, and intervention.

Currently, we offer a 90 minute training on health and human trafficking as 87.8% of victims encounter a health care provider while being trafficked*. Interested in occupation specific training for your job? We would love to collaborate.
