It began with a conviction that something needed to change.

Where Our Story Began
In 2015, Stacy Schaffer launched 31:8 Project with a vision to educate communities about human trafficking and equip people with the knowledge to recognize and respond to exploitation.
What began as a commitment to raising awareness has grown into an organization reaching students, professionals, survivors, and communities across North Dakota and beyond.
Today, 31:8 Project continues that work through education, advocacy, prevention, and survivor support—bringing people together to build communities that are better equipped to recognize exploitation and respond when it happens.
