Stop Exploiting Youth (SEY)

Supporting youth who are sexually exploited or at high risk of sexual exploitation

Stop Exploiting Youth (SEY)

Stop Exploiting Youth provides intensive outreach services for youth who are sexually exploited, or at high risk of sexual exploitation. We support the youth in exiting exploitation and recognizing and engaging in healthy relationships.

The program also raises community awareness on the issue, and provides community education, workshops, and groups.

Stop Exploiting Youth is a program of our Youth Resource Centre (YRC), which is a one-stop shop for youth and their families who want a helping hand to connect with each other and/or the community.

Learn More About Sexual Exploitation
