The Joy Smith Foundation Inc.

Published purpose

This 50-month project with The Joy Smith Foundation Inc. will develop and implement prevention education and intervention programs to advance knowledge and enhance empowerment supports for at-risk populations and survivors of human trafficking in five designated locations in Canada. This will be achieved by developing collaborative relationships with stakeholders in designated regions to expand existing education and intervention programs to targeted populations and communities. At the end of the project, the organization will have established partnerships in five Canadian regions, developed and implemented prevention education programs to identified vulnerable populations, and developed and implemented intervention programs with survivors and community members. The project will include an external evaluation that will look at the success and scalability of the promising practices. The supplement and extension will allow the project to expand activities to Alberta and Saskatchewan while also developing a virtual peer group for survivors.
