We're a few sessions into something really important. This spring, CASA for Clermont Kids launched a seven-part human trafficking training series led by Khalila Riga, a survivor, advocate, keynote speaker, and one of the most knowledgeable voices in this field.
Our volunteers have already completed the first two sessions: Foundations of Human Trafficking and Familial Human Trafficking and Out-of-Home Care, with more sessions continuing soon.
Khalila brings something to this training that no textbook can, which is lived experience woven into deep professional expertise. She currently serves on the Ohio Attorney General's Ambassador Advisory Council, as a board member for Sidewalk Soldiers, and as an advocate with Empty Frames Initiative, among many other roles. Her passion for educating communities and helping others find freedom from exploitation is evident in every session.
To our volunteers who showed up: thank you. To Khalila: thank you for sharing your wisdom. More sessions ahead. If you're a CASA volunteer and haven't registered yet, now is the time.
