Santa Barbara County is considered a corridor for sex trafficking by the FBI and we have numerous community members, many of them children, who have been or are currently being sexually exploited. In partnership with Social Venture Partners; Lisa Conn Akoni & Red Wagon Music; Jill Sharkey, PhD & UCSB; Ian Noyes; National Christian Fellowship; and the SB County DA's Office; SB ACT has created the Trafficking Action Group (TAG).

Trafficking Action Group (TAG) is an action oriented, research-driven & strategic work group, catalyzing prevention & intervention efforts to end Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children & Youth in Santa Barbara County.

• We seek to bolster, expand upon and/or accelerate SB Co’s efforts to eradicate sexual exploitation and support victims/survivors compassionately, swiftly and effectively

• TAG’s mission is to ensure that all CSE Children & Youth have immediate access to research validated, trauma informed, and survivor driven innovative supports

• We believe “It takes a village to raise a child!” Be part of the VILLAGE through supporting TAG Projects and help prevent and end the Sexual Exploitation of SB County’s Youth
