Is the CCAHT affiliated with a national organization?

No, the CCAHT does not have a national affiliate.

Visit our About page to learn more about our mission, team, and service region.

What is human trafficking?

Human trafficking happens when someone is forced to work or to have sex, and it does not discriminate based on socioeconomic status, race, or neighborhood. Most often, victims of trafficking aren’t trafficked by strangers; they are trafficked by someone they know. Visit our blog to learn more about human trafficking and how you can be an advocate for change in your community.
