Educational Workshops

​Today, digital dangers are among the most urgent threats facing our youth, with online exploitation now the fastest-growing category of crimes against minors in the United States. Unfortunately, our local teens are not exempt from these risks.

That’s why we’re excited to announce that Brenda Herr has become a Certified Influenced™ Digital Safely Instructor—a digital health and safety program developed by The Exodus Road, an organization with deep expertise in combating human trafficking. At Operation Love Global, we are committed to equipping our community with tools for prevention and awareness through these interactive workshops.

Influenced™ is an evidence-based, interactive educational curriculum designed to equip parents, educators, and teens (6th-12th grade) to navigate the complexity of the online world that is today’s reality. The Influenced™ curriculum covers topics such as:

• Understanding the role technology plays in the lives of young people and how this usage impacts development and mental health
• The prevalence of internet dangers such as: cyberbullying, sexting, sextortion, grooming, predation, and human trafficking
• The impact negative online activities and behaviors can have on teens and their peers
• Identifying red flags that signal a potentially exploitative scenario
• Trusted resources for accessing help and long-term support if affected by an online crime
• Helpful tools, resources, and practices to engage safely and healthily with technology
• Tips for better conversations between adults and youth about the online world
• The role teens have in creating better, kinder, and more just digital spaces

Reach Program

Education Sponsorship Program

We provide enrollment in a private education and lunch through sponsorships for children at-risk and survivors of trafficking situations. The sponsorship supports the children in this program from grade school through university or vocational training and is exclusively for those who would otherwise lack access to an education. This initiative helps break the cycle of poverty and reduces the risk of trafficking. Our goal is to expand this program and help as many children as our resources permit.

Passion Trips

Every year, we travel to work and serve alongside our partner nonprofits to combat sex trafficking and the exploitation of women and children worldwide. Our mission is to understand and address the challenges in each area by immersing ourselves in red-light districts, bars, and streets where we build relationships and offer a clear path to freedom. During these journeys, we spend time with women and children who are survivors of exploitation or trafficking, providing them with a safe place to rest, heal, and develop emotional, physical, and vocational skills. In addition, we offer essential resources and bless them with unexpected gifts, showing them love, hope, and support on their journey to recovery.
