Human trafficking is the 2nd leading crime in the U.S. Help us fight human trafficking and identify missing youth from the area prior to the Kentucky Derby. 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.
