Prevention Education

Prevention education programs for youth are available through the Dutchess County Human Trafficking Coordinator.  Please email the Human Trafficking Coordinator for information on obtaining these presentations for your group and/or how to attend an upcoming presentation. 

• Not a #Number is an interactive, five-module prevention curriculum designed to teach youth how to protect themselves from human trafficking and exploitation through information, critical thinking and skill development.
• Dutchess County Task Force Against Human Trafficking has created a pocket resource guide for youth (pdf).
• I Am Little Red is a 10-minute animated short aimed at children most at-risk for sex trafficking (e.g. foster-care, runaway, LBGTQ, homeless, and adopted children), with the goal of prevention and awareness.
