Protect Youth in Your Life with Resources from Blue Campaign
Youth are among the most vulnerable groups to human trafficking. Adults who work with youth are in a unique position to protect young people from exploitation. Blue Campaign has a variety of resources for both youth and adults working with youth, from comprehensive toolkits to informational videos. If you are a youth professional, consider using the following resources to help prevent victimization:
-
Youth Guide: In this toolkit, you’ll learn how to talk to youth about human trafficking — and how to spot the signs of the crime.
-
Youth Poster Series: Display posters in facilities and distribute them to your networks to raise awareness and reach victims of human trafficking.
-
Youth Professional and Caretaker Training Lessons: Learn about your role in preventing the crime of human trafficking, as well as how to recognize and report it.
-
Youth Animated Video: See how traffickers groom young people into human trafficking situations.
-
