The Harriet Tubman Fellowship for Labor Trafficking Survivors SUPPORTS survivor leaders and prepares them for management-level positions. The Fellowship has a key goal: to increase trafficking survivors’ power and influence by equipping them with the skills to take up high-level leadership roles in the non-profit, private, and public sectors. The ultimate vision is for trafficking survivors to lead anti-trafficking (and other non-profit) organizations and to take up senior positions in the public sector.
