Project Coordinator, Anti-Trafficking Initiatives

WestCoast Children’s Clinic (WCC) is looking for a Project Coordinator to support the agency’s anti-trafficking Initiatives. The Project Coordinator will contribute to a range of training, research, and technical assistance projects related to child sex trafficking prevention and intervention. This position primarily focuses on supporting the implementation of the Commercial Sexual Exploitation Identification Tool (CSE-IT), a screening tool for early identification of youth at risk of and engaged in commercial sexual exploitation.

The CSE-IT was developed by WCC and is used in multiple child-serving settings across the U.S. and Canada.

Building relationships with stakeholders, managing contracts, and collaborating across departments at WestCoast is essential to this role. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to national efforts to combat child sex trafficking.

Working here means being part of a team organization that is client-centered, trauma-informed, collaborative, and committed to justice and equity.
