Project: PROTECT

Olive is a certified facilitator of the PROTECT Curriculum through 3 Strands Global Foundation — an evidence-based prevention program designed to equip students, school staff, and parents with the knowledge and tools to recognize and reduce the risk of exploitation.

Student lessons are thoughtfully tailored to each age group, from kindergarten through high school. For younger children, the focus is on personal safety, boundaries, and self-worth, teaching them that they are valuable and deserving of protection. Direct education about human trafficking is introduced at the high school level in age-appropriate, trauma-informed ways that build awareness without fear.

Training for school staff provides a deeper understanding of the complexities of exploitation and trafficking, common warning signs in students, and clear protocols for responding appropriately and effectively within school systems.

Parent sessions address the realities families face in today’s digital world. Because exploitation often begins online, these workshops focus on internet safety, cell phone use, and practical strategies parents can use to help protect their children and open healthy conversations at home.
