Kansas Crisis Center
Serving women in the critical window following an escape from trafficking or an attempt to exit prostitution, Into Freedom delivers immediate support to survivors living in a short-term crisis shelter. Through meaningful conversations, mentoring, creative projects, and community outings, we foster stability, hope, and joy, while also sharing research based coping strategies to mitigate the effects of trauma. These first moments matter.
Missouri Safehouse for Survivors
In a rural Missouri safehouse, Into Freedom supports women recovering from sex trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation. As residents progress through a comprehensive healing program, we offer trauma informed, enriching experiences in creative arts, jewelry making, cookie decorating, group mentoring, budgeting classes, and career preparation. Through community outings and one-on-one connections, our volunteers create a safe space where survivors can begin to share their stories and reclaim their sense of self.
Missouri Drop-in Center
In partnership with an inner-city drop-in center for homeless women, sex workers, trafficking survivors, those battling addiction, and individuals facing mental illness, Into Freedom provides nourishing meals, clothing, compassionate volunteers, and emotional support. Women who arrive seeking food, a hot shower, fresh clothes, or help with documentation, medical access, or transportation are met with support, compassion, and love.
Trafficking Survivor Advocacy
We actively identify women trapped in trafficking—often in jails, drop-in centers, truck stops, war zones, or through medical and online referrals. In these critical and fragile moments, we provide emergency resources, escape planning support, and referrals to trusted safehouse and recovery programs. Every interaction is guided by urgency, compassion, and a survivor-centered approach. Every encounter could change a life.
Missouri County Jail Program
Into Freedom offers restorative programs to incarcerated women in county jail. Services include trafficking survivor referrals, chaplain visits, Bible studies, literacy development through inmate library expansion grants, and curated holiday events. We also provide critical information on trauma healing, emotional regulation, self-worth, relaxation techniques, and addiction recovery. Women participating in these programs often express feeling seen, supported, and cared for—sometimes for the first time in years. They know they are not forgotten.
Training on Trafficking Awareness and Interdiction
Into Freedom leads trafficking awareness and prevention training across the U.S. and internationally. We educate high school students, churches, businesses, and community groups, as well as specialized audiences such as military personnel, chaplains, law enforcement, and first responders. Our goal is to equip individuals and institutions with the tools to recognize, prevent, and intervene in human trafficking. Knowledge is a weapon. Awareness is protection.
Overseas Trafficking Prevention and Survivor Restoration
In Cyprus, Moldova, and Germany, Into Freedom conducts trafficking prevention programs targeting high-risk populations—such as orphans, group home residents, rural village girls, and students.
When trafficking survivors are identified, services are offered including professional counseling, program referrals, long-term mentoring, educational scholarships, and housing support. Our work focuses on providing the stability, safety, and guidance necessary for survivors to rebuild their lives with confidence and hope.
War Refugee Assistance
Into Freedom responds rapidly during crises by offering essential aid to war refugees in areas of conflict in Eastern Europe and the Middle East. We provide food, water, shelter, clothing, hygiene products, diapers, transportation, and professional trauma counseling—especially during the earliest, most chaotic phases of displacement when survival resources are hardest to access.
Overseas Orphan Transition Program
We support orphans and vulnerable youth as they age out of institutional care and transition into adult life. Our programs build critical life skills—such as budgeting, English language acquisition, apartment searching, and job readiness—ensuring each young person has the foundation to pursue a future of stability, safety, and self-reliance.
University Scholarship Program - Moldova
Into Freedom provides university scholarships to orphans, group home residents, and other at-risk individuals who are especially vulnerable to trafficking in Moldova, the poorest country in Europe. These scholarships offer a transformative opportunity to break cycles of poverty and exploitation through education and empowerment.
Advocacy and Support for Special Needs and Foster Care - Moldova
In Moldova, where individuals with disabilities are still marginalized and continue to face social exclusion, Into Freedom provides vital programming. We sponsor parent and caregiver support groups, individualized assistance, and professional training for specialists and teachers in disability best practices. We maintain active partnerships with both local and national government bodies to influence educational policy and improve inclusion. These disability-specific services and trainings are available nationwide.
Additionally, specialized camps are organized for individuals with disabilities, including those in both state-run and private institutions—creating spaces of joy, dignity, and community.
We also sponsor trauma-informed training to help caregivers and professionals understand how trauma impacts behavior. Through this, we support residential care workers, foster home personnel, and adoptive parents in meeting the complex needs of children in their care.
Gitan Gypsy Children Street Outreach - Marseilles, France
In the heart of Marseilles, Into Freedom supports a Kids Club that engages transitory Roma (Gypsy) children living on the streets or in unstable conditions. Through hands-on, educational experiences and storytelling, children gain literacy in reading, writing and speaking French, basic math skills, time-telling, life skills, manners, and spiritual development, giving them the structure and communication skills needed to successfully enroll in public school.
