My name is Glenda Skipper and I am the Founder and Executive Director of One Child At A Time, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to preventing human trafficking and empowering communities through education, advocacy, and intervention. For more than seven years, I’ve had the privilege of educating tens of thousands of students, parents, professionals, and community leaders on human trafficking prevention and online safety.
I am a Board-Certified Human Trafficking Investigator (#20374678) and a licensed South Carolina Private Investigator (#D0004188) with OC Investigations. I hold a Master’s degree in Human Services Counseling with a focus on Crisis Response and Trauma, and I’m currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Criminal Justice at Liberty University. I am also a Certified Mental Health Coach through Light University.
My passion for making a global impact has taken me across four continents and 13 countries, where I’ve studied human trafficking firsthand, including time spent in the slums of Mumbai, India, and Phnom Penh, Cambodia. These experiences have shaped my understanding of the international scope of trafficking and strengthened my resolve to address it both locally and abroad.
I’ve authored middle and high school curricula on human trafficking awareness and online safety, which have been implemented in school districts across South Carolina. I also serve as a member of the South Carolina Human Trafficking Task Force and as the South Carolina Ambassador for Rotarians Against Human Trafficking (RAHT). In these roles, I continue to champion prevention, protection, and restoration efforts statewide.
Through over a decade of research and fieldwork, I’ve come to firmly believe this truth: prevention through education is far easier than rescue.
