Nigeria has been bedevilled with myriad of problem which has hampered the attainment of the development of our society. Community support service providers in Nigeria are multidisciplinary non-profitable organizations that were established to tackle mostly human trafficking. The paper examined the influence of community support service providers on human trafficking of young people. Descriptive survey design was used for the study while purposive random sampling technique was used to select 200 young people from the community support service providers. Multiple regression and Pearson product moment correlation statistical analysis were used to analyse the data at 0.05 level of significance. The study established that there was a significant contribution of the age, socio-cultural practice and economic status F=(3.196)=985.856, P<0.001 and community support service providers. The result revealed that there was significant relationship between socio-cultural practice (r=0.622**, N=200, P<0.001) and community support service providers. The finding also showed that there was significant relationship between economic status of trafficked young people (r=0.486**, N=200, P<0.001) and community support service providers. It was also established that there was significant relationship between age of human trafficking of young people (r=0.967**, N=200, P<0.001) and community support service providers. The study, therefore, recommended that, community support service providers should increase the ways of boosting the economic status of human trafficking of young people and their parents since poverty was the main reasons why the young people fell to the hands of the traffickers. This can be done through the awareness of entrepreneurship programmes where the trafficked young people will learn different types of vocational skills.
