HRI
offers internships with
human rights
organizations overseas,
primarily in countries
in the south or in
societies in transition
in Eastern and Central
Europe. Internships are
open to recent
post-secondary graduates
from programs in
international relations,
international
development, area
studies, or law. Interns
duties are designed to
contribute to the work
of the organization they
are placed with, and
will involve working in
such areas as research,
advocacy, documentation,
and communications.
The primary objective of HRI Internship Programs is to expose young Canadians to human rights on a global level. Interns become familiar with the challenges facing civil society in other countries and have the opportunity to offer concrete assistance to grassroots organizations. It is an opportunity to apply skills and to develop new abilities. The HRI Internship Programs also empower southern partners by sending interns to facilitate and assist organizations. |
