You don't have to be an expert in technology or law to help protect children from exploitation.
You can:
💬 Have conversations about digital boundaries.
📱 Set expectations for device and content use.
🤖 Talk with kids about responsible AI use.
🔎 Think critically about emerging technology and the news surrounding it.
🏛️ Stay informed about laws and engage with your elected representatives.
No single conversation will solve the problem.
But meaningful change often starts with small actions, repeated conversations, and people willing to engage.
Protecting children is a responsibility we all share.

Artificial intelligence is forcing us to ask difficult questions about digital safety and child exploitation.
What happens when technology can create realistic content that never involved a real person? Where should the boundaries be? And how do existing laws address technology that didn't exist when those laws were written?
These aren't questions we can afford to ignore.
Parents, educators, communities, technology companies, and policymakers all have a role in understanding the risks and thinking critically about what comes next.
As technology advances, our conversations about protecting children must advance with it.

We want to thank everyone who came out and joined us for our Gala Friday night at the Pittsburgh Carpenters Training Center.
We are grateful for those who participated in the evening - our Emcee Lindsay Ward. Senator Cris Dush for sharing about important legislation that has passed and legislation in process that people can reach out to their representatives to urge them to support. We are especially grateful for Jen Spry. For her willingness to be our keynote speaker and share her story.

We are grateful for everyone who came out and made the choice to give in support of our organization. You took to heart Jen's message and desire to see more education in our communities and schools, and a way for law enforcement to be supported in identifying traffickers and victims.

This is work we cannot do alone. We are grateful for your trust and support.

Protecting children in a digital world starts with the boundaries we set at home.
It’s not just about limiting screen time. It’s about teaching children what is appropriate, what is concerning, and what crosses the line.
Talk about the content they encounter. Talk about social media. Talk about AI. And make sure they understand that creating or sharing sexually explicit images involving minors—even as a “joke”—can have serious consequences.
Technology will continue to evolve. Our conversations need to evolve with it.
Set the boundary. Start the conversation.

Tickets are limited! Join us on Friday, September 25 for our annual gala. We are excited to have Jen Spry joining us as our keynote speaker and Lindsay Ward as our emcee for the evening. It promises to be an unforgettable evening of exceptional dining, meaningful fellowship, and powerful stories that reveal the life-changing impact of The Asservo Project.

Throughout the evening, you will hear firsthand how your generosity is helping educate communities, combat human trafficking and child exploitation, and assist in the identification and recovery of missing and exploited children. Together, we are restoring hope, protecting the vulnerable, and creating lasting change where it is needed most.

The need is urgent. The lives impacted are real. Your generosity will help expand our reach, strengthen our response, and ensure that more children are protected and empowered, more survivors are supported, and more families experience hope because of your partnership.

Together, we will change lives.

We want to extend a thank you to PA State Rep. Valerie Gaydos for the End Human Trafficking event she held last week in Sewickley Hills.

We were honored to have our Executive Assistant, Cate Colesar, there taking part in the education and conversation that transpired.

Thank you for Attorney General Dave Sunday, Annalisa Gibbs from Eden's Farm and Charity Trahan from Altus Solutions for all of the insight and thoughtful discussion shared from the table last night.

We are grateful for the community members that turned out and the thoughtful questions posed during the discussion portion of the evening. A shout out to PA Unplugged for attending, asking some great questions and sharing about your group and offering it as another resource for parents to get involved in making our schools a lower tech and safer place for our students.

We talked about what human trafficking is, legislation, education and survive services. The reality is, we can talk and educate all we want, but change will not come until we work together to address the demand and driving force of this criminal epidemic.

We are grateful for those behind the table and around the room who are taking part in the conversation, and creating action to impact change.
