Colorado’s 24/7 Human Trafficking Hotline is managed by the Laboratory to Combat Human Trafficking and supported by Volunteer Hotline Advocates. Advocates are trained to handle a variety of call/text scenarios with a focus on connecting callers to the Hotline’s vetted list of resources and referral agencies around the state. Advocates are "on-call" during shifts they schedule according to their availability.
PLEASE NOTE: Advocates must be based in the state of Colorado in order to apply.
Approved advocate candidates receive 20 hours of up front training and 12 hours of continuing education to support callers and texters. Trainings are held twice per year, typically in spring and fall. The next advocate training will be held virtually via Zoom in April - dates TBD
Candidates must attend all sessions to participate and volunteers commit to one year of service to the hotline.
LCHT’s mission is to inform social change that eliminates human exploitation; our vision is the end of human trafficking. Our program areas include education, leadership development, research and training. Since 2005, LCHT has trained more than 30,000 community members, law enforcement, and social service providers, conducted two state-wide research projects and over 150 interns and community leaders have participated in our leadership development programs. Through our efforts, LCHT influences and shapes the anti-human trafficking movement at the local, state, regional, and national levels.
