Get Involved with the Anti-Slavery Project and help us to help enslaved and trafficked persons in Australia. Check back to this page regularly for community actions.
 
Volunteer your time

Let us know about your skills and we will match you with a project that fits with your availability.  If you have any professional services you are willing to donate such as public relations, graphic design, office assistance, interpretation, etc. please let us know your availability.  We are also in need of in-kind donations such as printing.

Raise Awareness

If you are interested in doing a school or service project, we have clients that can directly benefit from your assistance.  Many of our clients have just come out of a slavery situation and have nothing more than the clothes on their back.  Contact us to discuss ideas for collaboration.
 
Raise Funds

Host a house party, film screening or other event with friends and colleagues to help us continue our work.  This is a great way to educate others while raising money that will benefit people in need right here in Australia.
