The Office of the Governor's Child Sex Trafficking Team invites you to the January installment of its Monthly Webinar Series. On January 28, 2025, Amy Jolley and Denise Mears with Project Protect Our Children will present An Empowering Solution to Human Trafficking Utilizing the Power of Youth Voice.
In this webinar, you will learn how Project Protect Our Children, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to preventing child sex trafficking, exploitation, and abuse through proactive community engagement, preventative educational programming, awareness, and empowerment opportunities, has created a Youth Action Board (YAB) to plan and implement human trafficking awareness events and activities. The Project Protect Our Children YAB program is youth-led, research-based and survivor-informed.
YAB members are called to action, are encouraged to use their passion to make a difference and are given a platform for their voices to be heard. Collectively, youth learn about human trafficking and then collaborate, brainstorm, and reflect on solutions and project ideas to raise awareness among their peers and community. This program is age-appropriate for middle and/or high school students and with approval, will launch as a college program in January 2025.
