Boys & Girls Club Pilots Educational Anti-Human Trafficking Program

Anti-human trafficking can be an uncomfortable topic. We’ve all seen trafficking situations in movies or on the news, but we tend to feel like it is something far away.

 

But unfortunately, that is simply not true. In fact, the United States is one of the top buyers within the trafficking industry.

 

The Prevention Project was created to start tackling this complicated issue through a demographic that can truly make an impact.

 

The program empowers youth to protect themselves and others through education and helps equip the next generation of leaders to build safer communities.

 

Sheena Evans, territorial services coordinator for anti-human trafficking, realized that through The Salvation Army, the Boys and Girls Clubs are a perfect place to begin this educational program.

 

The goal is to continue educating the youth in our communities through the Prevention Project and other well-vetted human trafficking awareness and education curricula.
