The mission of the Barnaba Institute is to raise awareness about human trafficking as it pertains to sexual exploitation through education and media; to provide professional training courses on how to identify human trafficking victims and to provide support, guidance and care to sexually exploited and trafficked youth and adults.

One of the primary missions of the Barnaba Institute is to raise awareness about human trafficking, also referred to as modern-day slavery. The Barnaba Institute raisesawareness through media interviews, lectures and professional training courses designed to inform professionals such as non-profit outreach workers, law enforcement and health care workers to identify and properly care for trafficked victims. Presentations also include inspirational stories of youth and women Mr. Barnaba has helped throughout his career. As more victims of human trafficking and sexual exploitation are being discovered, it is imperative to have a large network of educated professionals adept at helping this unique population.

The Barnaba Institute Street Outreach Program provides aid to trafficked and exploited victims in an area that is known to have prostitution activity. Outreach staff provides support, guidance, hygienic supplies, emergency contact information, health information and referrals to appropriate resources, such as shelter, to each client.
