    2025 Community

    Service Project

    More information coming soon about donations!

    Damascus Road Project was founded in 2009 and is dedicated to fighting the evil of sex trafficking and sexual exploitation. They are committed to bring awareness through educating, restoring and empowering the abused, and advocating for the prevention and abolition of sex trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation.

    Damascus Road Project, Inc. is a nearly 100% specially trained volunteer run 501(c)3 non-profit organization. They operated for 15 years with only volunteers, and have now grown to a place where we have been blessed to be able to hire our first staff members! They have over 120 years of collective experience working in the anti- human trafficking movement in Wisconsin, Las Vegas, and across the U.S., as well as abroad. Damascus Road Project, Inc. has participated in hotel outreach efforts at six Super Bowls. They have worked alongside a national missing children’s organization, other anti-trafficking NGO’s, and local law enforcement, resulting in recoveries each year. 

    They serve the community with a three-fold approach:

    EDUCATE (Community and professional education and training opportunities are offered to all community members.)
    LOCATE (They provide community outreach to identify those being victimized.)
    ADVOCATE (They connect with those who have been victimized and offer support, compassion, encouragement and mentorship, as well as connection to appropriate resources and services.)
