Since 2017, Shield NC has equipped thousands of North Carolinians with the knowledge and confidence to recognize and respond to human trafficking in a rapidly changing world. In a state that consistently ranks among the top 10 in the nation for reported trafficking cases, our work has never been more urgent or more essential.

Shield NC has become a driving force in uniting communities, empowering residents, and strengthening local safety networks. We believe that every person has the power to protect their community. By learning the warning signs and knowing how to effectively respond, anyone can interrupt exploitation and help safeguard those most at risk.

Together, we are building a North Carolina where traffickers have fewer places to hide and where every community is equipped to shield its own.
