Through a partnership between the Human Rights Center and the Cristosal, this internship provides an undergraduate or graduate/law student the opportunity to experience firsthand the human rights and local development work in Central America and develop skills as a human rights and development advocate, educator and defender while living in El Salvador.

This internship helps to expand the work of both organizations by advancing human rights in Central America and enables students to develop essential skills, knowledge and insights for human rights advocacy wherever they may live and work in the future.
