Congratulations to Family Services of NEW on receiving our $10,000 grant.  At the beginning of this week, we held our event to announce and award the recipient of our grant.  We had a great turnout of other students, faculty and staff members, along with some community members.  Our decision was hard, but with a lot of thinking and discussing, our class was able to come to an agreement and do what we have been waiting for all semester!  The journey throughout the semester was enjoyable, challenging at times, and a great learning experience.  This class provided a unique opportunity for us to learn in a different way and it gave us many memories that we can appreciate when looking back on our college experience.  Thanks to the Learning by Giving Foundation, UWGB, Dr. Warner, and anyone else who made this possible.  Thank you for following along with us this semester!

Hello, we are the 2018 Strategic Philanthropy Class at the University of Wisconsin Green Bay! We are thrilled to take part in an opportunity granted to us through the Learning by Giving Foundation. With this program, our class is given $10,000 to donate to a nonprofit organization of our choice. Over the semester, we will take part in a variety of discussions and activities studying different community needs. Together our class will decide on a cause within our community that needs attention. Nonprofit organizations related to the community cause will apply for our grant. We will examine these organizations carefully to select a recipient. Stay tuned for an inside look at our class adventures!

Traffickers oftentimes start in Chicago, transport their victims through the Green Bay area and then take them westward to eastern Minnesota. Sometimes they come back to Chicago, which forms the triangle. This cycle of movement is repetitive in nature. Experts are aware of this triangle, yet are unable to completely stop all of the activity because the evidence can be difficult to detect. Much of this occurs near highways such as Interstate 94, which is the main road linking Chicago to Green Bay. Other highways that may be being used by traffickers include I-43, I-41, I-29 and I-39. The triangle has been described by the Sexual Assault Center of Family Services, which is a group dedicated to supporting victims through much of the affected areas [i] . On their way to the Green Bay area, traffickers likely make stops along the way, particularly in M...
