January's Featured Program

Community Conversation:

Anti-Human Trafficking Efforts

Tuesday, January 30 | 3 pm | Delaware Main Library

Unfortunately, human trafficking can happen anywhere -- even close to home. Please join us for a workshop with Delaware County Against Human Trafficking Coalition to cover the basics of human trafficking, issue prevalence, survivor identification, and coordinated local response. Content is tailored to Delaware County, including existing service statistics and community anti-human trafficking efforts. 

For questions or additional information, feel free to contact Emily Shugert-Miller.
