Children in our communities are being groomed and victimized by perpetrators of commercial sexual exploitation of youth. Our best chance to keep youth safe from human trafficking is to equip them, their caretakers and the educational professionals in their schools to recognize the signs for prevention and early intervention.
Unbound Now’s “Keeping Students Safe” program addresses this need by providing reproducible, evidence-based prevention education and training to the three groups best positioned to build safer communities for our youth
Empower students to keep themselves and others safe through large group presentations and targeted multi-week curricula.
Train personnel at schools and other youth-serving agencies to identify risk factors, grooming signs and red flags of victimization for prevention, early intervention and appropriate response.
Equip parents and caregivers with understanding of human trafficking and practical tools to partner with their children and their schools to keep them safe.
Built upon the latest research on human trafficking and effective ways to combat it
Enriched with the first-hand interactions with survivors, at-risk youth, community members and Unbound Now staff
Shown through research to increase learning gains on every point measured
Includes age appropriate presentations for students in 6th -12th grades, school personnel and parents/caregivers
Meets current standards on state mandates for school community education

Sentinels is a sex trafficking prevention curriculum comprised of five videos and accompanying activities designed to equip youth to recognize and avoid potential exploitation and empower them to make a positive difference in their communities.
Sentinels was created to be used in Texas by an adult facilitator with their middle school or high school students. Sentinels can be used in group settings, like a public or private school classroom or an after-school program. It can also be implemented 1:1 by a parent, CASA or an advocate.
Sentinels is free of charge for use by educators, youth programs, advocates or parents.
Through the Sentinels videos, students will learn the definition of trafficking, how to identify traffickers’ recruiting and control tactics, the role of demand in fueling human trafficking, how to stay safe and how to watch out for their peers.
Highlighting empowerment and hope rather than fear, Sentinels includes vital information students need to know in order to stay safe. The videos include special interviews featuring an Unbound Advocate, a law enforcement officer, educators, a survivor of sex trafficking, a victim’s mother and a group of high school students. After they learn the facts and hear real accounts, the real impact comes in the discussion questions and activities provided in the guides! These provide students with an opportunity to apply what they’ve learned to their own lives and communities and to think through ways they can stay safe and support their peers.
