The LifeGuard Group
The human trafficking numbers continue to grow exponentially every year, with nearly 30 million estimated being exploited world-wide and 2 million within the United States. THE LIFEGUARD GROUP is a group of experts committed to an aggressive, comprehensive approach to taking the fight to human trafficking. THE LIFEGUARD GROUP is a non-profit, mission-focused organization designed to: RESPOND Edmund Burke said, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” Immoral, dishonorable and depraved behavior is not only present in our world, but it has been allowed to thrived simply because of a lack of response by those who desire to do right. For freedom to reign and justice to be served, we must respond aggressively to those who desire to do evil and to those who seek a helping hand. RESCUE There are millions of individuals in the United States and World Wide who are being held in slavery. The means of their captors may be different, but the outcome is still the same. Slavery is alive and well in our world and the numbers are only growing. In partnerships with Law Enforcement organizations, we will train and work alongside experts who are actively reaching out to victims looking for FREEDOM! RESTORE Young women are being sexually violated at a rate never before heard of, and their cries for justice are not being heard. Young men are growing up with a broken mindset of what it is to, “be a man.” We will establish victim outreach and restoration through safe houses and referrals programs as well as initiate a trained “rapid response” team that can help those who search for their own justice. REVIVE Ask any expert, in any field...Social, Psychological, Law Enforcement, Justice, Corrections, and they will tell you that the single most contributing factor to the breakdown of our society falls back to the disintegration of the family. This is not an “American” or western problem but it is World Wide. We have devalued life. We have diminished the importance of parenthood. The Building Winning Families program will undertake the assignment of educating, empowering, and equipping families.
