What is an Engage Together® Project? 

An Engage Together® Project is a transformational community assessment project designed to accelerate efforts to end and prevent human trafficking and to care for those impacted by it. Through our collaborative process and award-winning technologies, the project equips communities with critical data insights – revealing where current efforts are strong, where gaps remain, what urgent needs exist, and how to mobilize the entire community in response. The Engage Together® team partners closely with communities throughout this journey, providing guidance and support every step of the way.   

Who is an Engage Together® Project for? 

Engage Together® Projects can be brought to regions or entire states. For more information on the process and outcomes of an Engage Together® Project, check out the completed Engage Together® Project in Wyoming and the active Engage Together® Projects in Tennessee, Dallas-Fort Worth, and South Florida.  

What does an Engage Together® Project consist of? 

An Engage Together® Project consists of the development of a strategic plan of action that will engage your entire community or state through 2 phases: 

Phase 1: Comprehensive Community Assessment 

Phase 2: Strategic Planning and Community Mobilization 

What is the goal of an Engage Together® Project? 

The top 4 goals and outcomes of an Engage Together® Project are to: 

  • Identify and assess community strengths and gaps 
  • Equip communities with actionable insights 
  • Mobilize multi-sector collaboration 
  • Develop and implement sustainable solutions   

Ultimately, the goal of an Engage Together® Project is to mobilize communities to meet the needs of victims of human trafficking and those most vulnerable.
