DonateBecause They’re Worth it!
Empower The Fight is a grassroots anti-exploitation organization that focuses on prevention and early intervention of child exploitation through citizen education.
How We Protect Children
We Collaborate, Educate, & Train
Our mission to empower adults to prevent and stop child exploitation is accomplished through our three core service programs that collaborate, educate, and train America’s citizens to be on the frontlines of defense for children.
Frontline Collaboration
Our Frontline Collaboration & Research Program spends thousands of hours collaborating with professionals and individuals with lived experiences. Researching the evidence-based facts through a cross-sectional analysis of federal reports, academic studies, and surveys from frontline workers. So that we are not an echo to broken narratives, but are a voice to real and substantive change for America’s children. Providing programs from a collaborative environment produces cutting-edge training and content.
Educate Citizens
Our Unmasking Awareness Program brings awareness of the child exploitation “tree” and its “fruit” within society. Giving practical action items citizens can do to be the solution & frontline of defense of America’s children. Few of us will be on the frontlines of child rescue, but we ALL are on the frontlines of prevention! Through the “Safe Adult Model,” every citizen can become engaged and proactive in protecting our children. Together, we can stop child exploitation!
Train Individuals
Our Child-Centered Training Program trains our citizens to be “watchful eyes” with early detection and safeguard techniques to assess when a child is at risk vs. in danger. We teach effective child-centered advocacy amid complex situations, helping individuals of all experience levels gain professional tools to safeguard and protect children.
Empower The Fight Story
Empower The Fight was founded by a group of experienced Kansas City moms who witnessed first-hand child exploitation in various arenas of their professions and lives. They were concerned about the gaps in services to at-risk and endangered children and were shocked by the public’s lack of knowledge of the scale of the problem. They began to strategize about how to bring solutions and not just awareness of the facts facing America’s children. After three years of research and collaboration, Empower The Fight’s programs were launched to address the most urgent GAP assessed by these frontline professionals, PREVENTION!
Empower The Fight’s approach is unconventional because the need is too big and too urgent to become another child welfare organization that settles within the constraints of our nation’s broken system. Why does the Body of Christ believe that adding Scripture to talking points provided by godless government and agency agendas is being a voice for the voiceless child? Will we be Christ-directed and child-centered in our influence, or remain an echo for those who politicize and profit from this human destruction? At Empower The Fight, we focus on being a Voice for the voiceless child, not an echo for these government or agency agendas.
