💙 Join us for our *S*x Trafficking 101 Community Training* Sponsored by LoveCola 💙

S*x trafficking can impact any community — and awareness is one of the first steps toward prevention.

Join Lighthouse for Life for a powerful day of education, conversation, and practical tools as we explore:
✔️ What s*x trafficking is
✔️ How exploitation happens
✔️ Who is most at risk
✔️ What we can do as a community to respond

The day will begin with our **S*x Trafficking 101** training for all attendees, followed by a panel discussion featuring professionals working in anti-trafficking efforts, victim advocacy, and law enforcement.

After lunch, attendees will participate in one of four breakout sessions tailored specifically for:
➡️ Pastors & Church Leaders
➡️ Parents
➡️ Students/Youth
➡️ Direct Service Providers

Each breakout will include practical guidance and dedicated Q&A time.

🎟 *Please be sure to select the ticket that includes the breakout session you would like to attend when registering.*

Together, we can create safer, more informed communities!

Creativity can turn awareness into something unforgettable! 💡🏐⛳️

At the CAT Center, a simple idea became a powerful message of hope—a lighthouse-themed putt-putt green designed to engage the community in a fresh and meaningful way.

What started as a creative display quickly became a conversation starter, helping people connect in a real way with the mission to combat human trafficking. It’s a reminder that awareness doesn’t always begin in a classroom—it can begin with an experience that stays with you.

We’re so grateful for the CAT Center team and the way they continue to use creativity to shine light in dark places!
