About ARC
Meet the Team, Our Network, & Read the Latest ARC News
The Agape Rescues Children Foundation (also known as ARC) was founded by Staci Maione and is based in Las Vegas, Nevada. As Ms. Maione began to understand the scope and prevalence of child trafficking in America, she was determined to create a sustainable yet effective solution. As a result, she has been busy, working behind the scenes to build a network of like-minded friends, family and organizations.
The Agape Rescues Child foundation was founded to STOP child trafficking and heal those whom have been rescued. Together, we are stronger and to this end, we are part of a network of aligned organizations who are also engaged in the fight to save trafficked children. Any great organization is truly the sum of its parts. Meet our Board and key supporters who make ARC and their good work, a reality.
Meet the ARC Board
The Agape Rescues Children Board is a collective of professionals and mentors who are dedicated to stopping child Trafficking in its tracks. Supporting our Board members are several dedicated volunteers who provide their own specialized skills to ensure that The Agape Rescues Children Foundation operates effectively and efficiently.
Founder, Staci Maione
Staci understands that knowledge is power. As such, she takes a hands-on approach to ARC. From ride-alongs with the Las Vegas Police Department to partnering with groups to purchase land for healing facilities in Texas, she is actively involved in speaking for those without a voice and finding creative solutions to help the defenseless.
Ms. Maione is also the founder of Ameliorate Your Life, a platform to help people from all walks of life improve their lives. This group also encourages their clients to pass on the knowledge they’ve gained and share with with others. Some of the alternative healers Staci has brought to Ameliorate have also joined the ARC cause, helping heal the wounded victims of child trafficking.
