PACT At Work: Collaborating With Companies to Keep Kids Safer - Part Two

EDUCATE AND RAISE AWARENESS

●   Hard Rock Social Identity Quest: PACT partnered with Hard Rock International to design a program that challenges students to think critically about their choices and build skills to reduce risks they may encounter online. Some 1.2 million students in 44 U.S. states have completed the program. Additionally, 73,430 students in Mexico completed the program between 2023 and March 2025.

●   Airbnb Trust & Safety Advisory Coalition: PACT’s director of Private Sector Engagement joins representatives from 21 other organizations that sit on Airbnb’s Trust & Safety Advisory Coalition, advising Airbnb on matters like how to help disrupt and respond to trafficking instances.

●  Conferences, Events, and Online Webinars: PACT has partnered with the Travel and Meeting Society (TAMS) to provide trafficking prevention materials at its Ignite Conference and with DeSoto Hotel to facilitate a virtual presentation on identifying red flags in hotel spaces and ways to get involved in anti-trafficking initiatives.

● Y-ACT Programs: PACT’s youth programs are aimed at educating children and teens about human trafficking. Toyota, Associate Luxury Hotels International, and Maritz have participated in PACT’s Notebook Projects where students receive notebooks with encouraging handwritten messages by volunteers. Students in this program also learn about trafficking facts and risks, internet safety, healthy relationships, and the benefits of community support.

“I’m happy to share that I’ve obtained a new certification: Preventing & Responding to Human Trafficking & Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children in the Travel Industry from PACT. I encourage everyone in the industry to go through this free training to potentially help save lives.” —Senior-Level Tourism and Community Engagement Professional
