Objective
The purpose of this program is to support the prevention and early intervention services, including mentoring and other direct support services, for girls who are at risk of or are victims of sex trafficking.
The goal of this program is to prevent/reduce victimization of girls who are vulnerable to sex trafficking. Objectives include:
• To replicate and scale-up prevention and early intervention programs (including mentoring programs) for girls who are at risk of or are victims of sex trafficking that have undergone rigorous evaluation and/or have a track record of success. Program models should include a plan to develop effective services and interventions for high-risk girls, including those with a history of trauma caused by physical and sexual abuse, commercial sexual exploitation, and domestic minor sex trafficking.
• To Implement or enhance efforts to identify and provide services to girls who are at risk of or are victims of sexual exploitation or sex trafficking. This may include street outreach efforts, partnerships with organizations that serve the youth community, and/or collaboration with key stakeholders in the community.
Programs should be based upon best practices, and may include a variety of services (i.e., mentoring, educational, counseling, etc.). OJJDP expects successful applicants to work closely with the selected training and technical assistance provider.
