We provide awareness and prevention education to middle and high school students in Oregon to keep them from being trafficked. We travel the country training and speaking to educate and mobilize the public around human trafficking. We connect survivors to vital services in their process of recovery. Lastly, IOB testifies and provides advisement on legislative issues surronding human trafficking.

The purpose of our Convenience Stores Against Trafficking program is to engage the convenience store industry in the fight against human trafficking. Convenience stores are uniquely positioned to recognize and safely report human trafficking in the communities they serve. Convenience stores serve half the U.S. population every day, have longer hours of operation, and victims have described visiting convenience stores as part of their daily routines. This program is leading to tangible reports of recovery of victims and increased public awareness.

In connection with our year-round anti-trafficking work, IOB conducts a 10-day anti-trafficking operation surronding the Super Bowl in host cities across America. Each year missing children and victims of trafficking are recovered due to the tips generated from IOB's work. The purpose of IOB's work surronding the Super Bowl is to link arms with law enforcement, faith and advocacy groups, nonprofits and government agencies in the host city to raise awareness of human trafficking and empower the community with a safe and tangible way to take well-informed, meaningful action to stop human trafficking.
