How do you build a statewide prevention response with no roadmap, no funding, and no access to schools? Learn how Uprising, a grassroots nonprofit born in rural Wyoming, strategically grew into the state’s leading provider of youth trafficking prevention education. This session will dive into the behind-the-scenes work of building credibility in diverse communities, forging cross-sector partnerships, and aligning with statewide efforts to develop a trusted and sustainable network. Presenters will share how they expanded prevention beyond schools and into entire communities—engaging parents, youth, and working professionals—to create a true culture of prevention. Attendees will leave with practical strategies, replicable tools, and lessons learned that can help any organization launch or scale youth prevention efforts, no matter their starting point.
