Brian Callies Foundation

Overall, our goal is to radically reduce the number of children that fall victim to becoming missing, exploited, and sex-trafficked in the US. Additionally, we plan to become a national unifying resource to address these issues through a variety of awareness and education, rescue and recovery, criminal apprehension, and restorative efforts.

Continually expand and improve our impactful community outreach programs to include all 50 states, continue to grow our integrated collaborative partnerships to form a more unified effort, and nationally raise awareness levels to make a dramatic reduction in the number of child victims.

We have a three-phase strategy:

Phase 1 – Project Prevent & Protect: Focuses on preventing child endangerment through education, awareness, prevention training, and protective resources. One of our most effective and recognized services is providing our Free Child Safety ID Kits and safety education at public events, police department sponsored events, safety education workshops, community unity meetings, churches, and schools. At these events, we interface with both children, as well as their guardians. This provides the opportunity to interact directly and personally. By offering this service free of charge to the families, we ensure that no family is left behind. Our goal is for the families of every child to have this critical Child ID information accurately and readily available at the moment a child goes missing. By teaching and promoting the facts and the dangers that lead to missing and exploited children, we strive to keep kids safe by them knowing the safe response in situations and provide them the tools that could save their future lives. The bottom-line overall goal of the "Prevent & Protect" project is just that: to prevent endangerment and protect the kids.

Phase 2 – Project Search & Rescue: Focus on finding, locating and/or rescuing missing and sexually exploited children through the distribution of flyers throughout the community, billboard placements, public service announcements (PSAs), investigative efforts, recovery solutions, collaborative search/rescue law-enforcement partnerships, and digital marketing.

Phase 3 – Project Restore & Restart: Focus on restoring children that have been recovered from being missing or sexually exploited, assist in healing, and ending destructive cycles through connecting with the child to break down the barriers of communication, intervention of reconnecting to the wrong environment, & partnerships with the appropriate social services to help the child move one step closer to being whole.

We have a successful and dedicated staff, an involved and supportive board, a tremendously active volunteer force, and an expanding network of community partners, law enforcement, investigators, and governmental officials.
