Human trafficking is the 2nd leading crime in the U.S. and Ohio ranks in the top 5 of all states. Help us fight human trafficking and rescue missing youth from the area prior to the Final Four. Hundreds of thousands of people will be visiting our city and we want to keep it safe.

Volunteers will get educated on the signs of trafficking and what is going on locally.

They they will go to hotels and motels all around the Dayton area to deliver them.
