SPEAK UP
prevention education for homeschool
Prevent sexual abuse, exploitation and trafficking before it happens by implementing SPEAK UP through homeschool!
SPEAK UP is a turn-key prevention education curriculum from The Foundation United that provides homeschooling communities with tools to stay safe from harm. It includes an evidence-based, trauma-informed curriculum for K-12th grade students. Homeschool families can complete each curriculum at their own pace and receive access to the entire K-12 suite! All materials are delivered digitally through our online dashboard.
After completing SPEAK UP:
-96% of students could identify "gaslighting" as a tactic of predators.
-95% of students knew their "Body Safety Rules."
-94% of students learned how to stay safe online.
We are honored to partner with Staci Yates of Alaska to bring SPEAK UP to the homeschooling community! Staci is the Director of Human Trafficking Recovery Services of My House; sits on the Governor’s Council of Human and Sex Trafficking and chairs the subcommittee of Victim’s Services and Housing Committee and Education subcommittee of the Council; and is is the chair of ASHTA (Alaska Stop Human Trafficking Alliance).

The Foundation United understands the importance of trauma-informed and evidence-based research, outcomes and measurements. We are proud to unite with our University Research Partner:
