Holland Community Group
MAP’s Holland Community Group is proud to be part of the Ottawa County Human Trafficking Task Force and the larger movement to end human trafficking in Michigan. We hope you will join us and become part of this amazing community!

Are you passionate about fighting human trafficking in your area? Do you want to join a group of caring and dedicated volunteers who are making a difference? If you live or work in Allegan, Ottawa, Muskegon, or Kent County, we invite you to join our Holland Community Group! We are a friendly and supportive group of people who learn and work together to raise awareness and prevent human trafficking in our community. No previous experience or knowledge is required to join. We have regular meetings throughout the year where we offer training and plan outreach events.
We are currently making plans for our upcoming Holland Freedom Marketplace on Saturday, August 19th! If you love to shop, this is a great opportunity to support fair trade businesses and local artisans while learning about labor trafficking and how to shop ethically (+lots of fun kids’ activities!). We are accepting vendor applications ($35) and also looking for volunteers who may be available to help. If you would be interested, we would love to hear from you!
COMMUNITY GROUP MEETINGS:
Starting in April, our Holland Community Group meetings will be combined with the Ottawa County Human Trafficking Task Force meetings, as our CG Leader, Ashleigh O’Donnell, is the new co-chair of the task force! These meetings are open to the public and are held on a quarterly basis. The next one will be on Wed, July 26th, at 12:00 pm (virtual). If you would be interested in joining us, please send us an email to receive the Zoom link.

If you would like to stay connected with MAP’s Holland Community Group, consider joining our Facebook Group or sign-up for our email list (“Community Group: Holland”) to have invites to future meetings and events sent straight to your inbox.

Featured Guest:
Sylvia Blythe
Executive Director/Founder of Prism Project
Join us as we learn all about Prism Project, a non-profit with a two-fold mission to provide preventative education and support child survivors of sex trafficking. Sylvia Blythe will be sharing about the services they provide, what a typical day looks like, how they get their referrals, and the overall goal of the program.

Sylvia Blythe has a Bachelor of Science in nursing and has worked as a nurse for 22 years. The majority of her career has been working in the ER and with Pediatrics. 12 years ago while working in the ER, Sylvia pursued training to become a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE). Sylvia’s experience as a SANE and becoming an adoptive parent led her to join the fight against human trafficking.
Sylvia is the Executive Director/Founder of Prism Project, a non-profit organization that is shining the light on the darkness of sex trafficking, so survivors can walk in the light of hope, faith, and love. Prism Project educates the community on the realities of human trafficking and has recently opened the doors of their Safe House program! This program is the first of its kind, a long-term safe house in MI that provides trauma-informed, wrap-around restorative services for child survivors of sex trafficking.
In her free time, you will see Sylvia spending time with family. She has been married for 21 years and has 4 boys. She enjoys serving at her church and going on mission trips.

Join our network! The purpose of MAP’s Freedom Coalition is to bring together experienced community advocates and professionals for a unified and comprehensive approach to addressing human trafficking in Michigan. Our vision is to eradicate human trafficking through collaborative efforts in the areas of demand abatement, survivor support, school outreach, and community awareness and engagement.
We meet virtually 4x a year for the sharing of statewide updates, best practices, new research and resources, specialized training, and more. Attendees are also provided time to network and share updates with one another.

Did you know human trafficking is the second leading criminal industry in the United States? The average age of entry into trafficking in the U.S. is only 13 years of age and many survivors of trafficking are not aware of how to get help. Join us to educate hotels on how to spot signs of human trafficking and hand out bars of soap with the national human trafficking hotline number along with missing children posters. 80% of all trafficking occurs at hotels/motels and many victims will see a bar of soap in their room which may be a lifeline to freedom.
Please join us to learn about the signs of human trafficking in our community. We will label hotel bar soaps to deliver to select area hotels and deliver critical information and missing children’s posters to hotel staff.
Must be trained (provided on-site) and at least 16 years of age to attend the outreach with parental permission.

Reach every victim of trafficking, leave no one behind. To end human trafficking, we cannot allow this crime to be met with increasing indifference and impunity. We must strengthen resilience against exploitation and the underlying socio-economic and cultural issues that are conducive to trafficking. We must sensitize everyone to the topic of human trafficking and thus push attention towards those who can make a difference in terms of changing policy and national resource management to strengthen prevention measures, improve identification of victims, increase support of survivors and end impunity. >> Click here to learn more about World Day Against Trafficking in Persons.
