Early Intervention Program

Our goal is to stop human trafficking before it starts

Youth are facing increased chances of exploitation, recidivism, child welfare involvement, family separation, and drop out rates, if they do not have adequate social support systems and resources. Many at-risk youth who are not yet trafficked are highly likely to become victims without early intervention. Data shows that 75% of trafficked youth are exploited for over two years before being identified.

The Early Intervention Program prevents human trafficking by becoming a bridge between high risk youth and existing support systems within the community.

EIP empowers youth through collaborative case management, safety planning, goal setting, prevention education, and strengthening support systems within the community.
