What drives someone to seek a life that keeps kids, teens and whole communities safer from trafficking? This episode shines a light on that question as Dylan Yeomans and Rebecca Saunders chat about everything brewing at the Set Me Free Project in 2026. You’ll hear them run through a packed line-up of events, including their College World Series gathering with guest speakers and a Q&A panel, plus a possible night with the Omaha Storm Chasers.
It’s all framed as prevention with a purpose, but with enough fun baked in to make serious topics easier to approach. Rebecca shares how Students Against Trafficking chapters on college campuses are growing, calling it "awesome to work with them" as students spread accurate information about what trafficking is, what it isn’t, and how social media fits in. Dylan adds a candid reflection on his own college years and why a positive, non-political student group focused on human trafficking matters.
The conversation also highlights fresh curriculum, including a new healthy relationships resource for foster caregivers, and a new book from CEO Stephanie Olson, *Talk Early, Talk Often*, written for caregivers who want practical guidance on talking with kids about trafficking and technology. There’s even mention of an online course for the wider community and a caregiver-specific course on the way.
For anyone wondering how they can help, Dylan and Rebecca break it down with humour and honesty: recurring donations help long-term planning, volunteering can grow into advocacy, and simple actions like sharing posts or rating the podcast can spark connections that lead to big change. As Rebecca puts it, "No connection is a bad connection.
We love to make new friends." If you’ve ever thought, "I care, but I don’t know where to start," this conversation might be the gentle push to take your next small step against trafficking. What role could you play in that bigger picture?
