PBJ Learning’s Advisory Board

Our advisors are committed to making a difference

They understand and keep up with our work and provide their best guidance

It is so fantastic to hear you are interested in becoming one of our awesome advisors.
 
We would love you to be constantly involved, but we understand how important your time is, so we only require one hour-long call per quarter.

You are absolutely welcome to participate in our bi-weekly Zoom meetings (5:30am Thursdays), where we share advice and research assistance.

Testimonials / bio / headshot (required)

From each advisor, we ask for a brief story about what makes you interested in our work and a biography of any length you want, including any degrees or groups you represent or volunteer with, and a headshot. 

Theresa’s is a great example! 

“Human Trafficking Essentials uses an impressive interactive methodology to impart a concise understanding of human trafficking as a legal, social, and community issue”

“As an international human rights lawyer and professor of Human Rights Law (specialising in the demand side of human trafficking), I was impressed with the interactive methodology employed by PBJ Learning in its presentation of human trafficking from the U.S. perspective.

As a key human rights issue, it is essential to increase awareness as a starting point down the journey towards ultimate freedom for all. This course, as a solid educative introduction to human trafficking, accomplishes just that. It delivers a concise understanding of how human trafficking can be understood as a legal, social, and community issue while bearing on the need to address human trafficking through the lens of the ‘let’s react now’, timeline approach.”
