Addressing the vulnerability of many homeless youth to human trafficking is crucial for building a brighter future for them. With approximately 4.2 million children aged 13 to 25 experiencing houselessness, this group faces a heightened risk of falling prey to trafficking rings due to financial struggles hindering their access to housing. Here's how you can make a difference: - Spread Awareness: Share this post to enlighten your friends and family about the concerning link between homelessness and human trafficking. - Support Local Organizations: Extend a helping hand by contributing to or volunteering with organizations dedicated to providing shelter, resources, and rehabilitation for houseless youth. Every contribution, big or small, makes a significant impact. - Advocate for Change: Use your voice to advocate for policy changes. Encourage your local representatives to prioritize funding for programs addressing both homelessness and human trafficking. - Be Vigilant: Take an active role in your community's safety. If you notice anything suspicious, don't hesitate to report it to local authorities or anti-trafficking hotlines. Let's work together to break the chains and offer every youth the opportunities they deserve!

Join us for a night of hope and action! On Saturday, November 9th, from 6-8 PM, we invite you to stand with us at The Pavilion at Avalon Park for our Lights on for Children event. Together, we can be the light that helps end child exploitation. ✨ Event Highlights: • A 4-course meal with wine and dessert • Live art by the talented Britt Chick Art • Honoring local heroes in the fight against human trafficking • Dress code: Dressy casual (Still unsure? No flip-flops, tanks, ripped jeans, or shorts!) Paving the Way Foundation has educated over 33,000 parents, youth, and staff about how to keep kids safe from exploitation and online dangers-and we’re not stopping there! ✨ We have tables available for purchase—grab a full table, half, or individual tickets. Join us with friends, come with a loved one, or let us seat you with others committed to this cause. If you can’t join us, you can still make a difference! Buy blue light bulbs and turn them on at dusk on November 20th, for Universal Children’s Day. This small act can let a child know they are not alone. Every year, 40 million people are trapped in modern-day slavery, and 25% are children. This must end. Join us, as we stand together to bring an end to child trafficking. 💡 #Educate #Empower #Prevent #LightsOnForChildren #EndChildExploitation #ShineALight #UniversalChildrensDay 🎟️ Purchase tickets here: https://lght.ly/an35gk1 Paving the Way Foundation: https://lght.ly/i276oen
