On May 21, 2025, The Global Center on Human Trafficking and Covenant House New Jersey hosted a training on Universal Screening for Human Trafficking, aimed at enhancing campus-wide efforts to identify and support students at risk of trafficking and exploitation.<\/p>\n
The session was led by Rolidel Czekajlo and Kaitlyn Zedalis of Covenant House New Jersey\u2019s Action and Research Tank Team, who introduced attendees to Quick Youth Indicators for Trafficking (QYIT), a validated, evidence-based screening tool designed to detect lifetime experiences of trafficking among youth.<\/p>\n
The training brought together key campus partners who work firsthand with many high-risk student populations. Participants gained practical strategies for integrating trafficking screening into existing services and learned how to connect students with appropriate resources.<\/p>\n
