IJM CHAPTERS

Join the fight against human trafficking and violence.

IJM chapters pray, advocate, and fundraise to advance the mission of IJM.

WHO IS IJM

Simple Charity partners with IJM to support an incredible network of student leaders who are passionate about justice. IJM is a global organization that protects people in poverty from violence. They work in 18 countries to combat trafficking and slavery, violence against women and children, and police abuse of power.

  • I love my IJM chapter! It has been the highlight of my college experience. I have grown as a leader and Christ follower, and have supported others as we fight to end modern day slavery. While we still have a lot of room to grow, I believe we have brought awareness to slavery and violence that did not exist on our campus before.

  • Our chapter is creative, encouraging, and passionate. We have a clear vision and seek to execute everything with excellence. I am thankful for people who are not just a part of IJM at Wake just to put it on their resume but because the work of IJM is deeply profound. We strive to always remember what and who we are fighting for.

FAQs

  • IJM chapters mobilize their campuses to: pray for God’s justice in the world, advocate for U.S. anti-trafficking legislation, and fundraise for IJM’s operations to protect half a billion people from violence. IJM chapters leverage the power of college students to make a difference, in service of people facing poverty and injustice.

  • In the 2023-24 school year, IJM chapters raised over $85,000 to fund more than nine Freedom Packages, the equivalent of nine rescue operations and long term trauma counseling for nine groups of survivors. While IJM chapters fundraise for the work happening overseas, they also play a critical role in bringing awareness to the reality of slavery and violence around the world through prayer and Congressional advocacy.

  • IJM chapter members typically spend 1-5 hours per month attending general body meetings and chapter events such as a prayer gathering or a Threads thrift store fundraiser. Each campus chapter has a different rhythm for meetings and events. IJM chapter leaders can expect to spend 1-2 hours per week in leadership team meetings, running chapter social media/communications, or planning for upcoming events.

  • If you are passionate about ending modern slavery, you should start an IJM Chapter. Starting a chapter will deepen your connection to anti-trafficking work and with those on your campus who share your passion. You are not alone in your heart for justice—an IJM Chapter is an avenue to build a community of justice-seekers and be part of bringing an end to trafficking and violence around the world.
