SWIFT
Spreading Wise Information For Teens
Swift is a self-help referral directory, is made possible by many people in our community. Many services and resources are available to help youth deal with issues and problems. Teen years can be very difficult but do not have to be. This website hopefully will provide answers to questions you may have.

If you run into problems, ask someone who can help you. We strongly recommend that you start by talking to your parents and family. This website will help you become aware of agencies or organizations in your community which can provide the services you need and tell you where assistance can be found. We hope this directory will help you. The site is also availible to view in Spanish!

Child sex tourism and trade is a lewd and disgusting business that is under the radar as far as the public concerns. These events are not in some far away foreign place, but here in America

WARNING:
Some of these images are graphic and parental discretion is advised.

January has been designated Human Trafficking Awareness Month. A tip line, 1-866-347-2423 has been set for any one who wants to report suspected Trafficking
Human trafficking is the illegal trade in human beings for the purposes of commercial sexual exploitation or forced labor: a modern-day form of slavery. It is the fastest growing criminal industry in the world, and tied with the illegal arms industry as the second largest, after the drug-trade.

These horrific actions don't just happen in a third world country, but it happens right here at home.
