Many people are unaware of its scope and various forms of exploitation. To combat this issue, we must understand its true nature, as it can affect anyone, especially vulnerable populations. College campuses include at-risk groups such as first-time students, first-generation students, international students, individuals with disabilities, LGBTQ students, study-abroad participants, visiting faculty and staff, undocumented migrants, and victims of abuse.<\/p>\n<p>Educating these individuals about human trafficking, labor laws, and the signs to look for could make a significant difference. Increased awareness leads to prevention, early intervention, justice, and long-term support for trafficking survivors.<\/p>\n<h3>Program Requirements<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Open to undergraduate and graduate students of all majors.<\/li>\n<li>Commit to serving for one academic year (Fall 2024-Spring 2025).<\/li>\n<li>Complete Human Trafficking 101 (1.5 hours) either in-person or online.<\/li>\n<li>Become a Human Trafficking 101 peer educator or workshop leader.<\/li>\n<li>Attend bi-weekly planning and check-in meetings with the Student Ambassador Advisor.<\/li>\n<li>Co-facilitate bi-weekly groups with GCHT interns and fellow ambassadors.<\/li>\n<li>Volunteer at least once a semester for GCHT events.<\/li>\n<li>Share GCHT\u2019s social media posts and events.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Characteristics of Ambassadors<\/h3>\n<p>We seek volunteers who are passionate about the work of the GCHT.
