Held in the heart of San Francisco, The Abolitionist Summer Academy is an in depth two week training session for those desiring to become Abolitionist Investigators of modern slavery. Attendees will be educated on how to properly record, document, and map all of the various types of human trafficking through hands on education, training, and meetings with experts in the field. They will learn how to identify probable cases of human trafficking, how to properly record cases of human trafficking, and how to effectively confront slavery in supply chains. By certification, attendees will be equipped with the knowledge and tools they need to become investigators of modern slavery in their own backyards.

Upon Completing the Academy, Attendees Will:

  • Understand the various forms of human trafficking inside the United States
  • Have personal experience and knowledge of how to work with victims and those at risk for trafficking
  • Know how to best document cases and map human trafficking in their area
  • Have an understanding of how to effectively address forced labor in supply chains
  • Be able to investigate forced labor in specific product and supply chains
  • Be certified as an investigator who can document cases nationally and internationally for Not For Sale

Into the Field… Opportunities to Map Cases Abroad:

Are you ready to combat the global issue of human trafficking? Want to fight slavery on the ground in Peru, or even Nepal? Participants who complete the course and receive a certificate verifying their completion of the mapping program will be provided with the opportunity to work with one of Not For Sale Campaign’s international projects, putting their investigation training into action.

    Greetings – Are there still spots open for the August session? We are moving to Kenya, Africa and we are being led to get involved in the human trafficking area. I’d like to come if it’s possible. Thanks.

    Hi! I was hoping to get the information in order to apply for the academy-I sent an e-mail but hadn’t heard back yet. I know spots are filling up quickly and that it’s very competitive so I hope to hear from you soon!

  3. Hi Lauren! Thanks for your interest in the Academy! The best thing to do is email theacademy@notforsalecampaign.org … Perhaps send a quick reminder email! Thanks!
