GCHT and Covenant House Host Universal Trafficking Screening Training
Posted in: Global Center on Human Trafficking
On May 21, 2025, The Global Center on Human Trafficking and Covenant House New Jersey hosted a training on Universal Screening for Human Trafficking, aimed at enhancing campus-wide efforts to identify and support students at risk of trafficking and exploitation.
The session was led by Rolidel Czekajlo and Kaitlyn Zedalis of Covenant House New Jersey’s Action and Research Tank Team, who introduced attendees to Quick Youth Indicators for Trafficking (QYIT), a validated, evidence-based screening tool designed to detect lifetime experiences of trafficking among youth.
The training brought together key campus partners who work firsthand with many high-risk student populations. Participants gained practical strategies for integrating trafficking screening into existing services and learned how to connect students with appropriate resources.
