Hello and welcome!
We’re thrilled that you’ve taken the time to visit our website and learn more about our campaign. As the final graduating class of the Child and Youth Care (CYC) program, we’ve come together to organize a campaign to support survivors of sex trafficking and raise awareness about this issue. Your actions can make an impact, and we heavily appreciate any willingness to make a difference.
This website serves as the central hub for everything we’re doing—from providing information about sex trafficking to sharing details on how you can get involved. It’s a space to unite our community, spread awareness, and inspire meaningful action.
Survivors of sex trafficking often escape with little more than the clothes they’re wearing. Access to basic hygiene products can provide a sense of dignity and comfort. By donating hygiene items, you’re meeting the needs of survivors. This can help them to rebuild confidence and work towards a fresh start.
Why Your Support Matters
Restore Dignity: Hygiene items can allow survivors to feel clean and respected as they begin their journey toward recovery.
Support Health and Well-being: Access to basic hygiene reduces health risks, decreases the likelihood of infection, and supports both physical and emotional healing.
Empower New Beginnings: Small acts of kindness make a powerful impact; even something small can make all the difference and help spark fresh starts.

More Places To Come!
We are the students of the Child and Youth Care program Fleming College 2025 graduating class. We are the last group of CYCPs that will be graduating due to the suspension of the program. Hence, we have come together as a group with a shared goal to raise awareness and help those exiting sex trafficking.
As CYCPs, we care for people, primarily children and youth. We focus on the different needs of the youth and meet them where they are to empower them and promote self-sustainability. This event integrates everything we’ve learned in advocacy, collaboration, and community care to create a meaningful, real-world impact. For us, this project symbolizes not only the end of a chapter but the beginning of a lifelong commitment to making a difference.
We aim to support survivors by providing hygiene kits and raising awareness. This project isn’t just a fundraising event; it’s a reflection of our commitment to creating lasting change in the lives of survivors and communities. By focusing on providing hygiene items and support, we aim to assist those exiting sex trafficking by providing basic needs.
From November 26th to December 9th, we invite you to be a part of an incredible journey of hope and change.
During this time, we’ll be placing drop boxes at key locations where you can donate essential hygiene items or contribute as per your wishes and capabilities. Every little bit counts and goes directly toward helping survivors rebuild their lives with dignity, health, and confidence.
Our campaign isn’t just about collecting donations—it’s about sparking conversations and educating the community. From November 26th onward, we’ll be sharing impactful content across our platforms, including:
Eye-Opening Facts: Learn the realities of sex trafficking, including local and global statistics.
How to Report: Discover practical tips for identifying signs of trafficking and ways to take action.
Preventative Measures: Gain insights into how communities can come together to prevent exploitation.
Together, we’ll shed light on an issue that thrives in the shadows, showing solidarity with survivors and encouraging others to get involved.
Mark your calendars! On December 9th, we’re hosting an event running from 9am-12pmevent at Fleming College from 9 am to 12 pm, and you’re invited to join us in making this initiative unforgettable. Here’s what’s happening:
Donation Drop-Off: Bring your items directly to the event, where we’ll have volunteers ready to assist you.
Interactive Activities: Participate in engaging discussions and learn more about how you can make an impact.
The drop box should look like this.
