A great presentation alone will not bring lasting change, which is why the Fierce Freedom presenter will also spend time working with a group of student leaders to create a Fierce Friends Club so that the message of healthy friendships, value, and worth along with awareness to the realities of human trafficking and exploitation continues. The goal is to create a safe and healthy learning environment. Finally, working with students will only be effective with the support of parents and caretakers. This is why Fierce Freedom offers an evening presentation, offering adults tools and understanding to support and protect their students. 986 0 At Risk Youth: Programs with youth who are in situations that put them at especially high risk for trafficking.
