Thank you, chair Stevens.
1:27:24
Wanna go back a little bit.
1:27:25
How are you improving awareness about human trafficking among foster youth?
Sabine Chery
1:27:39
We have our ACS youth council.
1:27:42
We have them go talk to the young people.
1:27:44
We also have a lived experience staff that's hired that does engage with our young people in informing them about trafficking awareness.
1:27:52
We have posters that we bring.
1:27:54
We also have our flyers.
1:27:56
And again, we are running a contest now.
1:27:58
We're trying to get the young people to engage whether you're at risk or traffic or do not wanna disclose, but through your art form, you can share what's happening.
