Atlas Free Recognized Among America's Best Nonprofits to Work For in 2026

In a significant achievement, Atlas Free, a nonprofit dedicated to combating human trafficking and exploitation, has been honored by The NonProfit Times as one of the best nonprofits to work for in 2026. This recognition comes as part of the program's 17th annual review, which identifies exemplary workplaces in the nonprofit sector. Atlas Free proudly stands amongst the top 50 organizations across the country, showcasing its commitment to fostering a positive work environment.

The Best Nonprofits to Work For program evaluates organizations through an independent survey conducted by Workforce Research Group. Employees are asked to assess their workplaces across a comprehensive framework of 77 questions that touch on various critical areas such as employee experience, workplace culture, leadership, diversity and inclusion, and professional development opportunities. This systematic evaluation not only underscores the vibrancy of Atlas Free's internal culture but also highlights the organization’s dedication to its core values and mission.

Jeremy Vallerand, the CEO of Atlas Free, remarked, "Our mission begins with people, and that includes the incredible team behind Atlas Free. Being recognized as one of the best nonprofits to work for reflects the culture we've worked hard to build—one rooted in trust, purpose, and care for one another. When we invest in our people, they're able to bring their very best to the work of restoring freedom and helping dismantle the business of human trafficking around the world."

Atlas Free is committed to dismantling the human trafficking business model and invests significantly in strengthening the global Atlas Free Network. This initiative is not only about addressing the pressing issue of exploitation but also ensures that survivors receive the care and resources they need to reclaim their lives. Since its inception in 2012, the organization has positively impacted over 1.6 million lives through diverse initiatives focused on aftercare, prevention strategies, awareness campaigns, outreach efforts, and comprehensive intervention programs.

The culture cultivated by Atlas Free is distinctly people-centric, rooted in the belief that by taking care of its team members, the organization can empower them to focus on the essential task of restoring freedom and hope to victims of human trafficking. In an environment where employees feel valued and supported, the potential for collective impact increases significantly. This recognition serves not just as an accolade but as a testament to the hard work and dedication that the Atlas Free team pours into its mission every day.

As part of its broader goals, Atlas Free seeks to accelerate the global fight against human trafficking and exploitation. By pinpointing, vetting, and investing in impactful initiatives and leaders across the globe, the organization aims to bolster a worldwide movement committed to the eradication of this heinous crime.

With its new prestigious title, Atlas Free not only enhances its credibility as a mission-driven organization but also sets a compelling example for other nonprofits striving to uplift their workplace dynamics and promote a supportive culture that prioritizes employee and survivor wellness.
