ROUTE is our newest program, offered through the Department of Children and Families to help address the impact of trafficking on our emerging adult population. We work closing with county and community partners to both identify and serve emerging adults who experienced trafficking while they were a minor. 

ROUTE offers resource and service navigation, mentorship, advocacy, and accompaniment to emerging adults who are currently experiencing or have previously experienced sex trafficking* prior to the age of 18. ROUTE also manages a warmline that is available to community partners, caregivers, and youth. ROUTE programming is available to eligible youth up to the age of 21.

*Experiences of sex trafficking may include engaging in commercial sex acts, trading sex, survival sex, or other types of sexual exploitation.

ROUTE is beginning to serve youth in fall of 2023, stay tuned for Outcomes in the near future.
