This executive summary highlights the key findings and practice recommendations from this report. Between July 2015 and May 2018, CAST conducted a youth program evaluation utilizing data from 147 youth (between the ages of 15-24) survivors of sex trafficking served by CAST’s Empowerment Social
Services Programs (including Emergency Response and Youth Program). Though CAST serves victims of all forms of trafficking, including all ages, all gender/gender identities, all sexual orientations, all immigration statuses, all nationalities/ethnicities, and all types of disabilities, this report focuses specifically on commercially sex trafficked youth survivors due to receiving specific funding from the William M. Keck Foundation to conduct an evaluation study on this population.
