End Homelessness
The Barnaba Institute aims to raise awareness about human trafficking as it pertains to sexual exploitation through lectures, media, law enforcement training and by providing support, guidance and care to trafficked and sexually exploited children and adults.
Education - The Barnaba Institute promotes education to schools, civic groups, universities, churches and law enforcement as a primary way to increase awareness about domestic human trafficking.
Street Outreach - The Barnaba Institute believes in providing hope and care to victims of trafficking and sexual exploitation. Our street outreach team provides care, support, clothing and referral services to victims.
Client Management - The Barnaba Institute provides support services to survivors of human trafficking. Our Staff supports each client through the rehabilitation and recovery process to ensure that referral services are sufficient and encourage the client’s successful transition out of the world of exploitation into becoming self-reliant and independent.
Barnaba Institute Pilot Project (BIPP) - BIPP is a new program implemented in part due to a generous grant from the Ittleson Foundation in New York City. BIPP is a three-year pilot project designed to document outreach methodology developed through case histories of trafficked victims given aid by Mr. Frank Barnaba. This methodology will be developed into educational videos and manuals designed to educate direct care staff how to identify trafficking victims and address their unique mental health needs.
This program will first be implemented into Covenant House locations nationwide before becoming available to other non-profits and professionals.
The Barnaba Institute was founded in 2006 and is a registered 501 (c) 3 organization. All donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
Frank N. Barnaba, President, has been working to recover victims of trafficking and sexual exploitation for twenty-six years with an additional ten years of experience assisting runaway children through various charities. He founded a nonprofit in 1980 devoted to aiding runaway and sexually exploited victims as well as developing one of the first Outreach teams that seeks out victims in order to provide support, services and a chance to escape exploitation.
The Barnaba Institute has lectured at the Covenant House (NYC), Wesleyan University, Wheaton College, Middlesex Community College, Manchester Community College, civic and professional clubs, churches and parent events.
A survivor of sex trafficking volunteered with the Barnaba Institute over the summer. She told her story recently on a CBS series highlighting the issue of domestic sex trafficking:
