SERVING SURVIVORS
Survivors Network NC is dedicated to serving the community and making a lasting impact in the lives of human trafficking survivors. We serve in two ways: directly through empowering survivors and providing exceptional survivor-leadership to agencies looking to partner with us. Additionally, we accept donations to help fund our projects and directly aid survivors.

Survivor Network NC offers an 8-hr training to survivors looking to develop into professional speakers. Requirements for applicants are survivors with lived experience who have been out of their trafficking situation for at least 18 months and have actively participated in at least 2 of our virtual peer support groups. The topics covered in the training range from practical speaking advice catered to survivors as well as tangible skills such as how to write a bio. For Graduates the Network also advocates on behalf of survivors for non-exploitative speaking opportunities with equitable compensation. The Bureau will also serve as a human resource agent for complaints, issues, or concerns that the survivor has of being treated less than fairly or in an exploitative manner. The Speakers Bureau also offers a limited amount of post training coaching support.

The Speakers Bureau serves as a liaison to survivors and agencies to ensure that the voices of Survivors are an integral component of any and all Anti-Human Trafficking endeavors. SNNC empowers Survivors to engage in advocacy work themselves.
Importantly, the Network also serves as a bridge, connecting survivors who desire to utilize their lived experience directly with agencies that are seeking collaboration, consultation, program development, strategic planning, training, and speakers for functions, fundraisers, and events.
