Awareness

.

The first step towards action is awareness. The Collaborative’s Awareness Campaign “Happens Here Too” receives 46 million views annually and sparks conversation and the realization that human trafficking exists in our community. We invite anyone ready to take action to join us in the fight against human trafficking.

 

If you want our awareness campaign to come to you for an event or program you are hosting, let us know! We can set up an awareness station with materials and a staff member to answer questions.

 

To request an awareness station or materials contact Kayla Ebner, Program & Outreach Specialist at kebner@collabtoendht.org.

Education

We offer educational programs for diverse audiences. These programs are designed to enhance participant’s knowledge of what human trafficking is, how to recognize it, and how to take action.

For more information or to schedule a program contact Kayla Ebner, Program & Outreach Specialist at kebner@collabtoendht.org.

While we do not charge for our programs, we do ask that you consider a donation to the Collaborative to enable us to continue our important work.

Greater Cleveland Coordinated Response to End Human Trafficking

.

“It is impossible for any single agency or organization to respond comprehensively to the problem of human trafficking.” (Office for Victims of Crime, Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice)

The Collaborative to End Human Trafficking leads the efforts of Greater Cleveland’s Coordinated Response to End Human Trafficking, Northeast Ohio’s 60+ member coalition made up of government agencies, nonprofit organizations, and businesses. The main purpose of the group is to:

  • Develop and sustain a coordinated and consistent response to human trafficking in our community
  • Harness the collective power of the multidisciplinary membership to substantially improve the capacity of our community to impact the problem
 

As the backbone organization for these efforts, the Collaborative to End Human Trafficking maintains overall strategic coherence, coordinates the day-to-day operations, and implementation of the work, including stakeholder engagement, communications, data collection and analysis, and other responsibilities.

Contact Marya Simmons, Director of Programming at msimmons@collabtoendht.org for more information and to see if your organization can play a role in the fight against human trafficking.
