| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1 | The mission of 3strands global foundation is to help create a world free from human trafficking. This starts with preventing the crime in the first place. 3strands global foundation provides prevention education programs in schools designed to help educators and students identify and prevent instances of human trafficking. The non-profit also works with strategic partners to help reintegrate victims back into society through employment. The organization supports and manages employment programs for survivors and those at risk both domestically and internationally. 3Strands Global Foundation also provides break free runs and other awareness events to engage and mobilize individuals, organizations and communities to do something about human trafficking. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A | PROTECT PROTECT IS A SYSTEMATIC AND SCALABLE HUMAN TRAFFICKING PREVENTION EDUCATION PROGRAM THAT TEACHES STUDENTS THE SIGNS AND TACTICS Of tRAFFICKERS SO THEY ARE ABLE TO PROTECT THEMSELVES AND OTHERS FROM VICTIMIZATION AS WELL AS TRAINS EDUCATORS ON HOW TO RECOGNIZE WHEN A CHILD IS AT-RISK OF BEING TRAFFICKED TO CONNECT THEM TO THE RESOURCES THEY NEED. PROTECT PROVIDES ONLINE HUMAN TRAFFICKING PREVENTION EDUCATION TO SCHOOL PERSONNEL AND COUNTY STAKEHOLDERS AS WELL AS PROVIDES EDUCATORS WITH 5TH, 7TH, 9TH, AND 11TH GRADE CURRICULA AND RESOURCES TO USe IN THEIR CLASSROOM TO DIRECTLY DELIVER HUMAN TRAFFICKING EDUCATION TO THEIR STUDENTS. 3STRANDS GLOBAL CO-FOUNDED THE PROTECT PROGRAM IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LOVE NEVER FAILS AND FREDERICK DOUGLASS FAMILY INITIATIVES AND IN COLLABORATION WITH THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATIon and THE OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. PROTECT REDUCES THE VULNERABILITY OF CHILDREN BY IDENTIFYING AND PREVENTINg HUMAN TRAFFICKING USING A STANDARDIZED, TRAUMA-INFORMED EDUCATION CURRICULUM AND SYSTEMATIC DELIVERY METHODOLOGY. PROTECT IS A STATEWIDE PROGRAM AND IS BEING IMPLEMENTED PRESENTLY IN 45 OF CALIFORNIA'S COUNTIES, COMPLETED ITS CERTIFICATION PROCESS IN UTAH AND IS NOW ROLLING OUT IN TEXAS. EDUCATION IS PROTECTION. PROTECT PREVEnts THE CRIME BEFORE IT STARTS. THE IMPACT I. 3STRANDS GLOBAL FOUNDATION HAS PROVIDED EDUCATION AND AWARENESS PROGRAMS FOR SCHOOLS IN CALIFORNIA FOR THE PAST SEVEN YEARS, EDUCATING MORE THAN 400,000 STUDENTS AND MORE THAN 30,000 ADULTS. II. 3STRANDS GLOBAL FOUNDATION IS PRESENTLY IN 43 CALIFORNIA COUNTIES AND ROLLING INTO UTAH AND TEXAS. III. WE HAVE YEARS OF ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE THAT VETTED INSTRUCTION, WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF A WELL-DEFINED CURRICULUM, CAN HELP UP TO 98% OF THE STUDENTS UNDERSTAND THE STEPS NECESSARY TO PREVENT THEMSELVES AND OTHERS FROM BECOMING A VICTIM OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING. IV. WE HAVE WITNESSED FIRST-HAND HOW OUR TRAINING AND CURRICULUM CAN HELP OUR YOUTH AVOID A LIFETIME OF PAIN AND TRAUMA. WHEN PRESENTED WITH THE BASIC FACTS, TECHNIQUES AND TIPS, VIRTUALLY ALL STUDENTS ARE ABLE TO RECOGNIZE AND INTERNALIZE THE MEANING OF THE CRIME AND HOW TO AVOID VICTIMIZATION. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B | REINTEGRATION 3Strands Global Foundations Employ + Empower reintegration program connects survivors of human trafficking and those at-risk (such as transitional aged-foster youth) with sustainable, traumainformed jobs and the resources they need to succeed in the workplace, allowing them to create a new future one free of exploitation. ECONOMIC INSECURITY IS ONE OF THE MAIN VULNERABILITIES FOR THOSE EXPLOITED BY TRAFFICKERS. THE INABILITY TO SUPPORT THEMSELVES AND MAINTAIN THEIR BASIC NEEDS IS THE PRIMARY REASON SURVIVORS RETURN TO A SITUATION OF EXPLOITATION. SURVIVORS HAVE TOLD US FOR YEARS THAT THE MOST EMPOWERING ACTION WE CAN TAKE ON THEIR BEHALF IS TO HELP THEM FIND A JOB. WE WALK ALONGSIDE SURVIVORS AND AT-RISK YOUTH TO PROVIDE SUSTAINABLE EMPLOYMENT AND THE CONSISTENT SUPPORT THEY NEED TO SUCCEED IN THEIR JOBS INCLUDING: INTERVIEW COACHING, SKILL BUILDING WORKSHOPS, JOB TRAINING, TRAUMA INFORMED CASE MANAGEMENT, COUNSELING, MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT, AND CHECK-INS WITH A SOCIAL WORKER. EMPLOY + EMPOWER PREPARES SURVIVORS AND HIGH-RISK YOUTH FOR A WHOLE NEW FUTURE, ONE FREE OF EXPLOITATION. EMPLOYMENT IS PREVENTION. 90% OF LOCAL SURVIVORS OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING HAVE BEEN THROUGH THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM. BECAUSE THERE IS A High CORRELATION BETWEEN YOUTH EXPLOITED FOR SEX OR LABOR AND THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM, IT IS CRITICAL THAT WE HAVE SERVICES AND PROGRAMS IN PLACE TO ENSURE THAT FOSTER YOUTH DO NOT BECOME VICTIMS. THE IMPACT I. PROGRAM HAS YIELDED AN 80% RETENTION RATE IN THE LAST YEARS II. 150+ YOUTH EMPLOYED IN THE SACRAMENTO AREA III. INCREASE IN THE PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS' PERCEPTION OF SELF-WORTH, CONFIDENCE IN THEIR JOB SKILLS, AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE SERVICES AVAILABLE TO THEM. IV. The Employ + Empower team at 3Strands Global Foundation meets with clients regularly to provide support during the employment process, helping to meet basic needs such as access to job and interview clothing, and to connect them with COMMUNITY RESOURCES SUCH AS TRANSPORTATION, EDUCATION AND CHILDCARE. ULTIMATELY, THE EMPLOY + EMPOWER PROGRAM PREVENTS future exploitation by offering a viable alternative to victimization - one that enhances self-esteem while teaching vital, transferrable job skills. Ultimately, the impact of the Employ + Empower program can be seen by the survivors who are not re-exploited for sex or labor while working in their jobs. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C | MOBILIZATION THE FIGHT AGAINST HUMAN TRAFFICKING IS GLOBAL AND MULTI-FACETED EFFORT. AT 3STRANDS GLOBAL WE STAND ON THREE PRINCIPLES IN COMBATTING THIS CRIME. 1. STOP THE CRIME BEFORE IT STARTS THROUGH PREVENTION EDUCATION, 2. REINTEGRATE SURVIVORS AND THOSE AT RISK INTO SUSTAINABLE JOBS AND 3. MOBILIZE COMMUNITIES TO BE AWARE OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING AND STAND UP AGAINST IT HAPPENING IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS AND COMMUNITIES. WITH THAT IN MIND, EVERY YEAR, 3STRANDS GLOBAL FOUNDATION HOSTS BREAK FREE RUNS, 5K/10K RUN/WALK, IN CA AND VIRTUALLY TO RAISE AWARENESS AND FUNDS TO COMBAT HUMAN TRAFFICKING. INDIVIDUALS CAN PARTICIPATE IN THESE BREAK FREE RUNS IN CALIFORNIA OR VIRTUALLY ANYWHERE In the WORLD. THEY GIVE PEOPLE A WAY TO MOBILIZE COMMUNITIES TO ENGAGE IN THE ISSUE AND JOIN THE FIGHT AGAINST HUMAN TRAFFICKING. 3STRANDS GLOBAL FOUNDATION HAS HOSTED MORE THAN 22,000 INDIVIDUALS FROM AROUND THE WORLD VIRTUALLY AND IN CALIFORNIA AT BREAK FREE RUNS. 3strands global also mobilizes communities through collaboration with legislators, public officials and community stakeholders. During the last years we worked with legislators to sponsor the first human trafficking prevention education bill in the nation, AB 1227. |
