OUSD received a federal grant from 2020-28 to provide human trafficking prevention education to staff and students in middle and high schools through Healthy Oakland Teens. The schools listed below also have Human Trafficking Prevention (HTP) Leads to respond to referrals.

If you have concerns about a student who is at risk or is experiencing sex and/or labor trafficking, contact your HTP Lead.

If your school does not have a HTP Lead, reach out to Amba Johnson, Grant Manager, Human Trafficking Prevention & Response. You can also request staff training and/or student lessons for secondary schools.
