Our First Film: Volunteers Needed — The Truth Behind Orphanage Voluntourism

Across the globe, children are being trafficked through exploitative orphanages—taken from their families and communities, not because they are orphans, but because these institutions profit from well-meaning donations and volunteerism.

Shockingly, 80% of children in orphanages have at least one living parent. The consequences of forcibly separating children from their families, culture, and language are profound. These youth are thrust into relationships with well-intentioned but untrained and unvetted volunteers, who are misled into thinking they are offering hope and a better future.

Following the screening, join a Q&A discussion with filmmaker Barak Laub, and Jess Torres, a local human trafficking subject matter expert. Moderated by Assemblymember Gail Pellerin.

Fair trade crafts made by mothers around the world will be featured in the lobby. 

You'll also learn about Rising Safe and Sound, a human trafficking prevention program implemented in Santa Cruz and Monterey county schools. 

Tickets are free or option to donate to help end child trafficking and support survivors in Santa Cruz county. 

Rising Worldwide's mission is to prevent and end poverty and exploitation.
