Stephanie Olson talks to Yolanda Harden about her story of trauma, life in the foster care system and overcoming.

Yolanda Harden joined the fight against human trafficking in 2017 in Iowa while working directly with youth services, foster youth, and child abuse prevention. Her life experience and personal passion have consistently served underprivileged youth and those involved with the Human Services or Juvenile Justice Systems.

After learning of Human Trafficking and its effects on today’s youth and adults, Yolanda shifted her career specifically to human trafficking prevention education for ALL children so that one day there will be no new victims.

Yolanda leads all things education as the Director of Operations and Programming for The Set Me Free Project. Her objective is to educate what human trafficking is and make others aware that it happens in our community. Her main priority is preventing these heinous crimes BEFORE traffickers ever have the chance. Yolanda continues to show her dedication to meeting students where they’re at and engaging them in strength-based life lessons that build each youth up and encourage them to advocate for one another
