Building Task Force Capacity to Identify and Support Victims of Human Trafficking Fellowship

OVC awards fellowships to individuals to work with OVC on specific topics or purpose areas to enhance the efforts of OVC to facilitate the understanding, development, or enhancement of innovative programs, models, practices, and protocols that serve crime victims. Fellowships also foster the professional development of practitioners in the victim assistance field by providing them an opportunity to work closely with federal staff, contractors, grantees, and a myriad of public and private organizations in Washington, DC, and throughout the Nation. The purpose of this fellowship is to assist OVC in addressing human trafficking task forces, with an emphasis on addressing gaps in identifying and recovering victims of labor trafficking and working collaboratively with law enforcement and victim service providers to ensure that all victims receive needed services.

During the third and final year of the fellowship, the fellow will work to plan and carry out this goal and facilitate collaboration among stakeholders and practitioners in the field. The fellow will also enhance the utility of OVC resources for governmental agencies and the victim assistance field; support and promote the dissemination of OVC resources and tools to improve the victim services field's ability to address crime victims' needs; and work with OVC as well as OVC training and technical assistance staff to identify practical ways to enhance OVC efforts through evidence-based or evidence-informed practices, innovative approaches, and address gaps and challenges in serving crime victims.
