Program Description: Using a client-centered, trauma-informed and human rights-based approach, Safe Horizon operates a comprehensive and community-focused intensive case management and legal services program for survivors of human trafficking.  While recognizing that client services alone will not turn the tide on human trafficking, our Anti-Trafficking Program also offers a range of services including trainings, presentations, case consultation, technical assistance and advocacy.  

 

The Training and Advocacy Director develops and implements the training, outreach and advocacy efforts of the Anti-Trafficking Program (ATP), in coordination with the Senior Director of ATP, with the goal of enhancing the ability of the victim service field, law enforcement, other first responders, and key stakeholders to understand human trafficking and effectively identify and respond to survivors.

*	Develop and maintain training curricula, outreach materials, and technical assistance resources for multi-disciplinary audiences.
*	Monitor, analyze and assess federal, state, and city laws and policies affecting human trafficking survivors.  Propose and advocate for legislative and policy changes that promote client-centered, trauma-informed, and rights-based approaches to preventing and responding to all forms of human trafficking.  
*	Create rapid response strategies to respond to time-sensitive developments in the trafficking field.
*	Stay abreast of trafficking related posts on social networking sites, forums, blogs, and online articles, and post comments to increase visibility of Safe Horizon and proactively communicate our mission.

*	Represent ATP in key anti-trafficking initiatives and actively participate in networks and task forces.
*	Manage training contracts and grants from government and institutional sources.
*	Assist Senior Director to identify funding opportunities, write funding proposals and to maintain strong relationships with current and potential funders.
*	Actively participate in weekly staff meetings with a small and dynamic team. 
*	Perform other duties as assigned.

 

 

Knowledge, Skills and Abilities (KSAs):

*	Master's Degree in a related field (e.g. public policy, international development); JD useful but not required.
*	Knowledge of anti-trafficking legislation and policy development at New York City, State and Federal levels.
*	Strong relationships with and/or knowledge of law enforcement agencies, community based organizations, and international organizations most likely to come in contact with trafficked persons.

*	Dynamic public speaker and presenter with ability to engage diverse audiences.
*	Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
*	Ability to delegate tasks to staff you do not directly supervise in tandem with their direct supervisor to ensure consistency and manage workload.
