 Program Name: Law and Human Rights Internship in Ghana with Projects Abroad
Organization: Projects Abroad
About Projects Abroad: Projects Abroad was founded in 1992 when Dr. Peter Slowe, a university professor, realized the need for international programs that involve travelling and working abroad at the same time. A couple of his students approached him with an idea of spending a gap year in Eastern Europe. Knowing some colleagues in Romania, Dr. Peter Slowe set up a teaching English program for his students which gave a jump start to Projects Abroad.
Student by student Projects Abroad began sending participants on Teach English Abroad programs in Eastern Europe. Realizing the need for international volunteers in developing countries, Projects Abroad began growing and expanding its programs to many other countries all over the world. In addition to volunteer programs, Project Abroad now offers international internships as well.
Whether you are 16 or 75, a high school student or a retired professional, volunteering overseas is something that will change your life forever. No matter what your background or age is, Projects Abroad will find the right volunteer or internship abroad program for you!
Highlights: Ghana is a fascinating country to participate in a Law and Human Rights internship abroad. It is one of the most well-governed, stable, and developed countries in Africa but quality of life is still much lower than in Europe or North America. This Human Rights internship abroad provides every intern with an opportunity to participate in a grass roots project which works with a variety of communities by raising awareness about human rights.
Your level of expertise and experience will determine your role in this project. Interns will work in a Human Rights office in Accra, and have an opportunity to choose specific areas of interest to focus on throughout their internship abroad program.
Interns typically get involved in the following areas:
- Community Outreach
- Government Responsibility
- Social Education
- Poverty
Interns will work on campaigns that focus on education and monitoring communities and individuals at risk and in need of legal help. Resolution of complaints, various issues such as abuse, and consultation is a big part of this internship. Whether you are applying to a law school, already a law school student, or simply interested in human rights, this internship will enhance any resume!
