The center will serve as a clearing house, bringing together highly-qualified pro bono attorneys with human trafficking survivors seeking legal assistance. The organization will advocate to increase the range of legal options offered to trafficking victims in the United States. By advocating with non-governmental organization leaders, training lawyers, and mentoring attorneys handling pro bono trafficking cases, Vandenberg hopes to increase trafficking victims' access to justice in the United States.
