Become a Champion

Join the Movement
Slavery and violence is a brutal reality for millions of men, women and children around the world. Many lack access to justice.

As an IJM Champion, you can volunteer your time, talents and resources to make justice unstoppable.

What can I do as a Champion?

As a Champion you can advocate and use your time and resources, and mobilise your community:
Fundraising Champion

Fundraise for IJM’s work of justice. Work with fellow champions to develop fundraising initiatives and bring Freedom Partners on board to fuel the mission.

Church Champion

Inviting churches in your region to partner with IJM as a Freedom Church: to pray, give and act, including running a Freedom Sunday.

Advocacy Champion

Works to engage people in spheres of politics, business and corporations. Raises awareness through campaigns and takes action to advance IJM's anti-trafficking and anti-violence work around the world.

Meet some of IJM's Champions:
