Volunteer Opportunities

MICHIGAN ABOLITIONIST PROJECT

Welcome! MAP is a network of concerned citizens and like-minded organizations who are working together to prevent and end human trafficking. We are a diverse group of everyday people who join together to make an impact in communities across Michigan. Check out the links below to find ways you can take action and be involved.

First Things First! Get Educated!

Nelson Mandela once said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”

Human Trafficking is a complex issue, so to address it effectively we all need to educate ourselves about trafficking and its root causes. Check out some ways to learn more below!

A Cup of Hope - Webinar Series

“A Cup of Hope” is a live stream event, usually the first Wednesday of the month. MAP and Hope Against Trafficking join together to provide a virtual space for community members and families to openly learn and discuss various human trafficking related issues. Through this ongoing dialogue, we aim to bring awareness and hope to an issue that seeks to manipulate and exploit. You can view past recordings or join in for the next session.

Add MAP on Facebook to watch LIVE!

Virtual Meet-Ups

These meeting-ups are held on a regular basis, usually monthly, with Emily Johnson one of MAP's Program Coordinators. Emily will answer your questions about any of our opportunities, help you find an opportunity that is right for you, and connect you to the resources you need to make an impact!

Become an Abolitionist!

This program is a way for individuals to use their influence to make an impact in the fight to end modern-day slavery. Join us for a 10-week digital experience that will help you understand more about human trafficking and get you engaged in conversations, hands-on learning, and easy challenges for you to consider.
