Program Advisory Group Application

The 2024 JuST Conference Advisors will each review a selection of workshop applications, helping SHI staff choose presentations for the final 2024 JuST Conference program. The Advisors will be comprised of members with expertise in service provision, juvenile & criminal justice, survivor empowerment and opportunities and emerging trends in DMST and special interest topics. It is our goal to have vetted presenters with qualified experience in providing trauma-informed training on DMST focused content.

The 2024 JuST Conference Advisor role is a temporary appointment for the current year’s program. Due to potentially sensitive information in the workshop proposals, advisors will be asked to sign a confidentiality agreement.

Advisors will have 2 weeks to do a preliminary review (not to exceed 5 hours) of content and presenters. Advisors must understand and agree that the Shared Hope staff will be making all of the final decisions on the program. These decisions will be made with strong consideration of the advisor’s comments and suggestions.

While Advisors are not expected to attend the Conference, we welcome their attendance and participation. For their time and expertise, advisors will receive one (1) complimentary JuST 2024 registration and will be acknowledged as an official Advisor in the conference program.

The Juvenile Sex Trafficking (JuST) Conference is the nation’s leading conference on child and youth sex trafficking, with an average of 1,000 change-makers in attendance each year. JuST features today’s most pressing issues in the anti-trafficking field. Presentations and workshops focus on skill-building, survivor experiences, cross-discipline collaboration, task force development, case studies, and lessons learned.   

Our attendees are leading the fight against trafficking in their communities including, but not limited to survivors and lived experience experts, law enforcement officers, prosecutors, service providers, judges, victim advocates, law makers, social workers and healthcare providers. A multi-disciplinary approach is key to preventing trafficking and adequately serving victims and survivors.
