At 16 years old, Kristen Morse became passionate about stopping human trafficking. Since then, she’s raised thousands of dollars and helped start the A21 Campaign, a global nonprofit working to eradicate human trafficking. As the Global Reach Director, she works with 14 offices in 12 countries to strengthen laws and increase funding and awareness about taking action on this important issue.
After seeing gaps in the way some non-governmental organization (NGOs) work with governments, Kristen decided to pursue a Master’s degree in public policy at American University to improve her organization’s ability to influence policy and on-the-ground field work.
Kristen is honored to be a Bryce Harlow Fellow. “I am grateful for this opportunity to learn from leaders and peers who share similar values and who choose to live their lives for purposes greater than themselves,” Kristen said.
