About Greenlight Operation

At just 12 years old, Greenlight Operation's Founder & CEO, Jordan Pine, learned about the darkness of human trafficking and the millions of people trapped in exploitation. Grieved by this reality, a spark was ignited within her to put an end to modern-day slavery and support survivors in their healing journey. As she grew and learned about this social injustice, her passion to join the anti-human trafficking movement was fanned into flame. However, where and how to get involved was not yet clear, as human trafficking at the time had an international focus and domestic agencies were few and far between.

In 2017, Jordan and a devoted team of supporters hosted their first event to broaden awareness about human trafficking. The response was overwhelming, and a community of engaged advocates that emerged from that event began asking how they could get involved with efforts year-round. While human trafficking was prominent in Pennsylvania, education and awareness about this criminal industry was sparse, and few resources were available for survivors.

In response to the growing awareness, a group of ordinary people—students, parents, business leaders, pastors, teachers, and health care workers—came together and asked: “what more can we do? How can we prevent human trafficking, expose it alongside lawmakers and law enforcement, and serve survivors who often lack resources after leaving their exploitation?”

These questions led to the formation of Greenlight Operation. In 2018, Jordan assembled a team of volunteers at her church, and they set out to raise awareness about human trafficking, make connections in the anti-human trafficking community, and show the love of Jesus to survivors through a restoration home. That team of volunteers set a strong foundation for the years to come.

Greenlight Operation is now a leading anti-human trafficking agency in Pennsylvania, collaborating and consulting with community, state, national, and international leaders in counter-trafficking efforts. The team has opened the first restoration home and resource center of their kind in the capital region of Pennsylvania to provide safe housing and restorative care services to women who have been sex trafficked, and they aren’t stopping there. Greenlight Operation continues to deepen its impact thanks to the team’s dedication and the generous support of those who champion the mission.
