Putting Trafficking Out of Business: Jeremy Vallerand on Building a Global Anti-Trafficking Network

How do you fight global sex trafficking? With a global solution. 

Jeremy Vallerand (Atlas Free) shows how networked partnerships, not duplication, drive faster, measurable impact against exploitation.

Jeremy founded Atlas Free to strengthen what already works: resourcing effective local partners instead of reinventing programs. Today, Atlas Free supports a global network focused on ending sexual exploitation and meeting urgent needs.

In this episode, Jeremy shares:

  • His unexpected road to founding Atlas Free
  • How to utilize a network approach to leadership
  • And his challenging take on doing justice with mercy

Jeremy offers a new nonprofit model built on collaboration, showing us how building strong partnerships and treating others with dignity can lead to sustainable, collective change. Jeremy’s contagious conviction will challenge your thinking about mercy, fuel your own passion for justice, and give you a new perspective on how we bring change to the world.
