We are a student founded and student led nonprofit dedicated to combating human trafficking.
Mission
YES aims to combat modern-day slavery by raising awareness about its prevalence, empowering youth to be advocates for change, and promoting legislation that will provide aid for victims and prevent future trafficking.
Description
YES is a nonprofit founded and led by students.
We believe that educating youth about the existence of slavery is especially crucial, due to the fact that the rising generation has both the opportunity and the responsibility to create a world where unjust practices in the name of profit are not tolerated.
