Summer Assignments: Center for Global Justice 2014 Interns


This year, 19 Center for Global Justice, Human Rights, and the Rule of Law interns are scattered around the globe, serving organizations that protect children, promote religious freedom, fight human trafficking, and aid the poor.

Others travel a bit further to Washington, D.C., and Texas, while others board long flights to Africa and Asia.
