Students Against Trafficking
Students Against Trafficking
Your Campus. Your Voice. Your Impact.
Human trafficking prevention doesn’t start after something terrible happens.
It starts with education.
It starts with awareness.
It starts with healthy relationships, safer choices, and people who know how to recognize when something isn’t right.
Students Against Trafficking (SAT) gives college and university students the tools to lead that change on their own campuses.
Through student-led chapters, education, awareness, leadership, and community engagement, SAT empowers students to become part of the movement to stop human trafficking before it starts.

What Is Students Against Trafficking?
Students Against Trafficking is a campus-based, student-led prevention and leadership initiative of The Set Me Free Project®.
SAT chapters equip students to educate their peers, start meaningful conversations, promote healthy relationships and digital safety, challenge myths surrounding human trafficking, and build a campus culture where exploitation is harder to hide.
Students don’t need to become investigators.
They don’t need to rescue anyone.
And they don’t have to know everything about human trafficking before getting involved.
They simply need to be willing to learn, lead, and help others recognize that prevention is possible.
Who Can Start a Chapter?
SAT is designed for colleges, universities, and postsecondary campuses.
A chapter can begin with just a few motivated students who want to make an impact.
Students from every major and career path are welcome.
Future educators.
Nurses.
Doctors.
Social workers.
Lawyers.
Business leaders.
Law enforcement professionals.
Counselors.
Communications professionals.
Technology professionals.
Community leaders.
Human trafficking touches every part of a community. Prevention needs leaders everywhere.
What Does an SAT Chapter Do?
Every campus is different, so every SAT chapter can look a little different too.
Students can create activities and initiatives that fit their campus culture while receiving resources, education, and support from The Set Me Free Project.
Chapters may:
Host human trafficking prevention and awareness events
Educate students about healthy and unhealthy relationships
Promote online and social media safety
Talk about consent, boundaries, grooming, and exploitation
Challenge common myths about human trafficking
Participate in campus and community events
Invite speakers or host educational programs
Partner with student organizations, faculty, athletics, residence life, Greek life, and other campus groups
Develop creative prevention campaigns
Support the mission of The Set Me Free Project through awareness or fundraising activities
The goal isn’t to create fear.
The goal is to create informed, empowered students who know how to look out for themselves and one another.
How It Works
1. Start the Conversation
A student, faculty member, campus leader, or existing organization reaches out to The Set Me Free Project about starting a chapter.
2. Build Your Team
Identify student leaders and a campus advisor or sponsor who can help support the chapter.
3. Get Trained
SAT leaders receive education and resources from The Set Me Free Project so they can talk about human trafficking prevention accurately and responsibly.
4. Create Your Campus Plan
Choose the awareness activities, educational events, partnerships, campaigns, and service opportunities that make sense for your campus.
5. Make an Impact
Bring prevention education into your campus community while developing the next generation of leaders committed to ending exploitation.
