Our main need is to help staff the Montana Human Trafficking Hotline which can be done at home from your cell phone. 

In addition, there are occasional opportunities to do work days at Crooked Tree Ranch. 

Finally, we are always in need of private fundraisers created by our donors (you!), however you see fit. 

To learn more about any of these, contact Carson Hochhalter: carson@thelifeguardgroup.org

You can request a specific outlet for your donation.  Our key categories are: Outreach, Crooked Tree Ranch (our safehouse), or Educational media).

For a private fundraiser or school assembly contact Carson Hochhalter carson@thelifeguardgroup.org.

For a training event for professionals, community members or churches, please contact us at info@thelifeguardgroup.org

Human Trafficking is in every community in the U.S. - rural or urban. 

We have online classes available to anyone, anywhere. In addition, LifeGuard Group team members train nationally groups of law enforcement, medical professionals, educators (and staff), hospitality and delivery workers, parents and community members. However, our school assemblies are mostly held in Montana.

This is where and when The LifeGuard team really jumps into action.  Each case is different, depending on the needs of each person.  For some, medical attention is necessary.  For others, safety is the number one priority.  The short answer would probably best be, Whatever is most needed in the moment. 

 There are so many ways that you can help.  If you, as an individual want to help, email search@thelifeguardgroup.org to be put on our call list.  If you are part of a larger group, church, organization, or business and would like to form a Quick Response Team [QRT] in your community, let us know by emailing us at info@thelifeguardgroup.org.  The LifeGuard Response team would train and equip you to be the "first call for help," if a child goes missing in your area.  

The International Labor Organization estimates that there are 40.3 million victims of human trafficking globally, with hundreds of thousands in the United States. 

We are aiming to open our Lifehouse (Crooked Tree Ranch) in 2022.
