Our Mission

We build trust-based relationships with youth and their caregivers to break cycles of exploitation and create pathways to safety, stability, and healing.

Our Vision

Communities are activated to prevent and disrupt exploitation, creating a world where vulnerable youth and families experience hope, transformation, and the opportunity to thrive.

Our Values

HOPE : Hope is more than a value to us. It’s the atmosphere we want people to experience when they encounter Traffick911. We believe real hope changes people. It helps survivors keep going. It helps families rebuild. It reminds advocates why this work matters. For us, that hope is rooted in Jesus Christ, in His heart for justice, healing, dignity, and restoration. Everything we do is shaped by that belief.*

HUMILITY : We know we don’t have all the answers and we don’t believe we’re meant to do this work alone. Because of that, we wholeheartedly pledge deep collaboration with survivors, partners and the community, understanding that we are better and stronger together. We commit to a humble, teachable posture that embraces self-awareness and promotes a culture of adaptability.

HUMANITY : We believe healing happens in trust-based relationships, dignity fuels resilience, and every person deserves to be seen, valued, and treated with respect and compassion. Because of this, we strive to create environments where honesty, belonging, emotional safety, and growth are possible for our team and every child and family we serve. We honor each survivor’s voice and choices, protect their agency, and walk alongside them as empowerment partners.

HUSTLE : Hustle is how we move — with grit, creativity, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. We are not afraid of doing hard things. We show up ready, adapt quickly, innovate when needed, stay focused and solution-oriented — no matter what challenges arise. We also recognize that sustainable impact matters more than burnout, and we strive to build healthy rhythms that allow our team to serve with wisdom, consistency, and longevity.

Our Story

Traffick911 began in 2009 when a handful of community activists realized that child sex trafficking was not only happening in third-world countries but in their communities.

Since then, Traffick911’s mission has been focused on one thing: to free youth from sex trafficking. Over its history, the organization’s abolition efforts include forming vital local, state and federal partnerships, training over 82,000 youth and adults face-to-face with an audience-specific prevention and awareness message, training over 18,000 professionals and first responders on identifying victims, and directly serving thousands of survivors.   

Traffick911’s groundbreaking journey included operating a state-licensed, long-term restoration residential home for child sex trafficking victims which catapulted forward their understanding of the day-to-day needs of trafficking survivors. In addition, for years, they delivered the first-of-its-kind youth prevention outreaches in schools, juvenile detention centers, and youth shelters, teaching youth how to stay free from trafficking. Within those outreaches, Traffick911 encountered hundreds of youth every year who had already experienced trafficking and thus organically learned how to walk alongside those youth in their recovery journey effectively.

These experiences ultimately laid the foundation and deep understanding Traffick911 needed to create its flagship program, the Voice & Choice Program, which is now Traffick911’s sole programmatic focus – providing field-based 24/7 crisis response and relational advocacy to child sex trafficking victims in North Texas. After seven years in the anti-trafficking space, the Traffick911 team began to realize their sweet spot – relationships that weren’t tied to any specific residential program or service, simply walking alongside survivors day in, day out, year after year on their unique healing journey. After all, this is what they had been doing all along – building relationships with survivors, meeting them where they are, and advocating for whatever they need to heal.

In the 2015 Texas legislative session, legislation was passed requiring every child sex trafficking victim identified in Texas to have a unique “caseworker” (or advocate) assigned to them who did not belong to any one system. 

In response to this mandate, Traffick911 was selected by the Office of the Governor in Texas to deliver the Voice & Choice Advocacy Program as a part of formally coordinated regional multi-disciplinary teams (MDT) in North Texas Counties.

The Voice & Choice Advocacy program began to grow exponentially in 2017 when these MDTs formed, which include formal partnerships with law enforcement agencies, district attorney offices, juvenile justice departments, child advocacy centers, state child protective services, and others who work collaboratively within agreed-upon county protocols to serve child sex trafficking victims best. 

Currently, the organization formally provides services to Dallas, Tarrant, Collin, Denton, and Ellis counties, serving over 200 child sex trafficking victims every year. The army of full-time staff and volunteers supporting them are driven by their theory of change, “Free people, free people.” They believe that the extent to which they, modern-day abolitionists, accept the brave personal journey of healing and freedom, they will be able to facilitate freedom in others.

Traffick911 was named Outstanding Organization of the Year by the Fort Worth Commission for Women, with commendations from the Fort Worth City Council, the mayor, and a State Senator. Homeland Security Investigations have also recognized them as a most-valued partner in this battle against the sexual exploitation of children.
