Foster Care Training

Virtual Instructor Led Training

Every day children and youth are forced, tricked or coerced to work for little to no pay, in unsafe and abusive working environments. While it is a common belief that labor trafficking only occurs outside the United States or to immigrants, recent research demonstrates the problem is more pervasive than we think, occurring throughout the country including California to both domestic and foreign-born youth.

Traffickers specifically target individuals who are vulnerable to the promise of “easy money” or the lure of a “better future.” Youth with experience in foster care or the juvenile justice system are at a particularly high risk. Child welfare workers, probation officers, law enforcement, local non-profits and other child serving agencies such as the education and healthcare systems are in a unique position to identify victims, provide specialized interventions and bridge the gap to local resources.

Who Should Attend: Child welfare, Probation, law enforcement, school personnel, youth servicing providers and the community at large.
