 Council Fellows Take Action
CCWA youth group members continued their efforts to combat human trafficking in Ohio. Earlier this month, the group was on hand in the Short North to provide Gallery Hop patrons information on this local and global issue. This awareness project was part of their 2010 campaign to inform our community about human trafficking and engage local stakeholders in various initiatives.
