Sabrina Dorman-Andrew found a passion for combating human trafficking after volunteering stateside with an Ugandan-based nonprofit, and since then it has been her mission to learn about this issue on a local and global scale.

In 2013, she and her husband founded New Creation VA, a nonprofit that creatively counteracts human trafficking with a local heart and global approach. To date, the organization has generated over $4 million to combat human trafficking. They have worked with over 10,000 JMU students to raise awareness and have trained hundreds of community members on what trafficking is and how to recognize the signs.

In 2022, Sabrina was named “Freedom Ambassador of the Year,” for her commitment to the mission of preventing human trafficking and championing the Prevention Project curriculum throughout Virginia.

Armed with the belief that prevention education and job creation are powerful solutions to the problem, she has dedicated her life to developing concepts that will make an impact.
