COMBATTING EXPLOITATION
Youth Leaders
Mentors play a crucial role in shaping young people’s lives, offering guidance, encouragement, and support as they navigate social, emotional, and family challenges.
Many survivor leaders who shared their experiences with Walking Wise® spoke about the “one” trusted adult who made them feel valued, crediting that support as a key factor in their resilience and ability to overcome the impact of sexual exploitation.

“Educating our children
about the dangers they face
in today’s world is crucial to
protecting their innocence.
Walking Wise is the most engaging
tool I’ve seen for empowering
youth with the knowledge they
need to stay safe.”
Nate Lewis, Founder & CEO
TheInnocent.orgcreating safer environments
It is well known that sexual predators actively seek out environments where children and teenagers gather, often using deception and manipulation to gain trust and blend in unnoticed.
Well-run organizations can still be infiltrated by pedophiles or sex traffickers who deliberately target youth-centered communities. Schools, churches, sports teams, social clubs, and other youth-oriented spaces are frequent targets, making vigilance, training, and proactive safety measures essential.
prevention strategy
Education is one of the most powerful tools for prevention, and everyone, especially adolescents, should have access to it.
Organizations that equip adults and youth with knowledge naturally create safer environments, as predators are less likely to see the children they serve as vulnerable targets.
Walking Wise education is designed for flexible use in one-on-one mentoring, small group discussions, or full-scale workshops.
anti-trafficking groups
Our education is designed to complement the vital work of anti-trafficking organizations by streamlining the delivery of impactful prevention education.
Walking Wise trauma-sensitive and expert-reviewed resources free advocacy groups from the costly and time-consuming task of content development, allowing them to focus on what they do best—building strong community relationships and offering direct support.
Together, we can form a powerful partnership that strengthens both education & outreach in the fight against child exploitation.
