PLEA Community Services Society, Vancouver, British Columbia
OnyxWorks helps young women who have survived trafficking to develop the work skills they need to begin rebuilding their lives. The program offers employment and mentorship opportunities to women and girls age 13 to 19. Services include intensive one-on-one support and supervision, skills-based training, and a 10-week job placement. During the placement, youth workers who have experience with trafficking survivors are there to support both participants and employer-mentors. The goal is for participants to gain the experience and skills they need to secure regular employment.
