Rethinking Peer Recruitment and Survivor Safety with Youth

Join Safe House Project for our next webinar, Rethinking Peer Recruitment and Survivor Safety with Youth

Peer recruitment is one of the most misunderstood dynamics in youth exploitation. The young person who recruits is too often blamed alongside the trafficker β€” when the truth is almost always that they were failed first.

This webinar is a practitioner conversation about shifting that conversation: off the youth and towards understanding the systems that created the conditions. More than that, it's about what comes next β€” equipping providers to actually help.

This webinar brings together practitioners to talk discuss:

  • Why the way we talk about peer recruitment has to change β€” and what the "offender" framing costs the youth

  • What's really happening for a young person who recruits a peer

  • Where the systems around these youth fail them, and where blame gets misplaced

  • What genuinely helpful support looks like in practice β€” and what every provider can do differently

If you work with exploited youth in any capacity β€” whether you serve them directly, support their families, or sit at the table when these cases come up β€” this conversation is for you.

All webinars are recorded. Register even if you can’t attend live, and we’ll send you the full recording afterward.

A verification of attendance will be emailed to those who join the webinar live. Note: Certificates are not available for recording viewers.
