Freekind
Freekind (formerly known as Virginia Beach Justice Initiative) is a local faith based non-profit on a mission to prevent human trafficking and support those who have been exploited on their journey to freedom. We seek to restore the humanity that has been stolen by creating pathways to freedom, reigniting hope and helping survivors experience true belonging. We are accomplishing our mission through awareness and training, prevention eduction, and survivor support. We educate our community and provide industry specific training to community partners most likely to encounter victims such as law enforcement, legal and healthcare professionals, educators, social services and those in the hospitality industry. We also engage our local school systems with the Prevention Project, a middle and high school curriculum that is survivor informed and designed to prevent another generation of victims. Finally we build offramps to freedom for adult victims of human trafficking who have been incarcerated for crimes related to their victimization. Our re-entry services give survivors renewed hope for a life of freedom from abuse and empower them to pursue their dreams.
