Human Rights Watch

“Human Rights Watch is very intentional about providing interns a range of interesting learning opportunities. Every week, interns can take advantage of speaker series events where they learn about researchers and staff within the organization. Additionally, there are skill building workshops, intern bonding events, and occasional field trips, such as visiting local criminal court hearings to understand the importance of contemporary bond reform. The staff are extremely supportive and genuinely care about providing interns a rich learning experience. ”

“The nature of the work that I was involved in was very inspiring and overwhelming at the same time. Documenting human rights violations in various areas is certainly pressuring but also makes you more responsible and motivated to do your work. I learned so much from my experience -- from my research and the staff, to an extent that I am now considering a career in law.”
