Thriving Youth: Survivors and Systems Coming Together to End Youth Trafficking

A working summit focused on creating a movement that is led by the voice of survivors in our community to transform Cuyahoga County into a place where all children are nurtured, safe, supported and flourishing.

Greater Cleveland’s Coordinated Response to Human Trafficking has identified at-risk-youth as a priority population for our coalition work. Through ongoing conversations with many of you, we know that youth who are experiencing or are at-risk for human trafficking will benefit from an expansion of our counties coordinated response. Through our collaborative work, we know that youth vulnerable to human trafficking are often difficult to identify. They are in survival mode, lacking necessities of life- such as a safe place to stay. Some have left homes disrupted by violence and addiction. Others faced family challenges related to their sexual orientation or gender identify. Many have aged out of the foster care system or have not gotten the help they needed.

These youth need our help and ability to come together to create an amplified movement, building on the great work organizations and systems serving this population are already doing. Led by the voices of survivors in our community we can transform Cuyahoga County into a place where all children are nurtured, safe, supported and flourishing. To address the crisis vulnerable youth face, we are encouraging the community to come together for a working summit titled Thriving Youth: Survivors and Systems Coming Together to End Youth Trafficking on February 17th-18th, 2022, led by the Community Innovation Network at Case Western Reserve University.
