Question 2

How much class time do RLR programs take up?

Accepted Answer

Various factors play into the length of RLR's programs. Ideally in-person presentations last 50-90 minutes per topic, and our new Digital Program averages 30 minutes minimum per topic. Details can be sorted out for your specific situation after your request is submitted.

Question 3

Do youth presentations address sex ed?

Accepted Answer

RLR presentations do NOT address, educate on, or discuss sex or sex education. Sex trafficking typically happens in the context of relationships (traffickers pretending to be romantic partners, friends and business professionals), which means that our programs center around healthy relationships, true stories, research and resilience.

Question 4

What happens after I submit my request?

Accepted Answer

When filling out your request, give as much detail to your ideal situation as possible. Once it is submitted, our team will review your request and reach out to you via email in follow-up. Sometimes that follow-up includes modifications to the request like: dates, topics, length of the presentation, etc. If there is a cost associated with your request, that will be discussed in this follow-up as well, which can all happen via email or zoom.

After all the details are agreed to, you will receive an official Confirmation Email outlining all those details so that they are easy to find in one place. This might even include things like permission slips, media files for marketing, etc.

From the time you receive the Confirmation Email to the time your program begins, you will also get automated messages with reminders necessary to your event (i.e. reminders for teachers to send out permission slips, onboarding trainings for the Digital Program, reminders to post advertisements online for community events, etc.).

We try to prepare you with everything you need and walk you through the process every step of the way.

Question 5

When I put in a request, does that register me and lock in my spot?

Accepted Answer

Requesting presentation dates does not mean that your spot is locked in. We will contact you after your request is submitted, confirm all details, and make sure it's a go.

Question 6

What age are RLR's youth programs appropriate for?

Accepted Answer

All youth programs are age-appropriate for 7th-12th graders, unless noted otherwise.

Question 7

Are youth presentations triggering for someone who has experienced trauma?

Accepted Answer

Emotional triggers are very dependent on each individual. For 99.9% of youth we present to from all types of backgrounds, our programs are not only “not triggering” but empowering. We receive messages from students frequently thanking us for providing a message that finally shows them that they are more than the bad things in their stories. 
 
Even though it is rare for a student to be overwhelmed by a presentation, we preface each presentation by letting students know that if they do feel overwhelmed or uncomfortable at any point, they are free to let their teacher know to be excused. Typically these students are then directed to an on-campus social worker and parents are notified.

Question 8

What if a youth discloses trafficking or abuse?

Accepted Answer

If a student discloses a situation of ongoing abuse or trafficking, school staff are required to follow through with their mandatory reporting. If a trafficking situations has been disclosed, then the Student Resource Officer should be involved in the situation immediately as well as the National Human Trafficking Hotline Number called: 888-3737-888.

Question 9

Have parents ever complained about a RLR program?

Accepted Answer

To our knowledge, no parent has made formal complaints surrounding our programs or activities on school campuses, youth groups or other youth programs. Parents that experience a parent training from us respond by asking how they can get us into their child's school / classes.

Question 10

Is Red Light Rebellion faith-based?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We are a faith-based nonprofit. The reason we do what we do is because we love Jesus and want to live out the calling he has made on our lives to fight sex trafficking. We love presenting in churches and being asked questions about our faith because we get to dive into why we are passionate about justice and the hope we have in the face of such evil. When presenting in public schools, we recognize our limitations and do no preach faith in any presentation. We follow the same guidelines as set up for teachers in this regard.

Question 11

Do you do presentations outside of schools?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we do! We happily provide youth presentations in schools, as well as youth groups and other youth organizations (ex: Girl Scouts, Boys & Girls Club, Arizona’s Children Association, etc.). 
 
We also provide parents and professionals who work with students trainings on child sex trafficking and how to keep youth safe.
