Abolition Ohio Speakers Bureau
We created the Speakers Bureau in order to raise awareness about human trafficking in the Miami Valley Region. We train and certify volunteers to give human trafficking 101 presentations to diverse audiences across the community. These audiences include civic organizations, nonprofit organizations, faith based groups, businesses, schools.
Anyone passionate about working to end human trafficking can join. To apply, please fill out the application and submit a letter of recommendation from someone who has observed you present, teach, lead a workshop or perform a similar speaking activity. All recommendations should be emailed to: abolitionohio@gmail.com
Upon completion of training, Speakers Bureau members will be able to identify and understand:
- What is human trafficking
- Where it happens
- Who is involved
- How and why it takes place
- How to respond
- How to present sensitive material
- What are the responsibilities of membership
Abolition Ohio offers trainings and presentations at no charge for community and civic groups. Donations are accepted. To request a speaker, please complete our Speaker Request form.
All of our materials are available here. You should not use these materials unless you are a trained and certified member of the Abolition Ohio Speakers Bureau.
