The Shared Hope Institute for Justice & Advocacy is a center for training, research and advocacy that gathers and concentrates the power of Shared Hope’s programs under one roof.

For over 20 years, Shared Hope has been at the forefront of groundbreaking research related to child and youth sex trafficking in the U.S. Our research and resulting resources support the development of vital policies and promising practices for identifying and providing appropriate responses to survivors.

Shared Hope’s multi-modal training focuses on equipping anti-trafficking stakeholders with the resources and knowledge necessary for identifying trafficking victimization and delivering a survivor-centered response. Our Team provides high quality, customized training to law enforcement, juvenile and criminal justice stakeholders, service providers, advocates, child welfare, and policymakers.

Shared Hope’s Policy Team provides technical assistance and advocacy support to Congressional and state legislators seeking research-based, survivor-centered, and field-informed policy solutions to address child and youth sex trafficking.  The public is also encouraged to participate.
