Unleashing Potential: Strategies to Access Employment and Education for Trafficked Youth
NYEC 2024 Annual Forum - Registration Now Open
NYEC and Love146 Joint Statement
Together, the National Youth Employment Coalition and Love146 are working to address the barriers to employment and education that exist for survivors of trafficking and provide ways to better prepare workforce development programs to address the unique needs of this population. We have developed a joint statement discussing employment and education services as an investment in the future of youth who have experienced trafficking.
Love146 is an NYEC member that seeks to end child trafficking and exploitation. This work is achieved through relationships and collaboration, scaling proven practices, and challenging the systems that leave children vulnerable. Learn more about the work that Love146 is doing HERE.
