IJDH Fall Intern(s) 2013

Institute for Justice & Democracy in HaitiBoston, MA
The Institute for Justice & Democracy in Haiti (IJDH) is the US affiliate of the Haiti-based Bureau des Avocats Internationaux (BAI), which has over 17 years of demonstrated success enforcing Haitians human rights, in Haiti and abroad. We work in four areas: 1) impact litigation that opens the doors of Haitian, international and U.S. courts to precedent-setting human rights cases; 2) documentation that provides public officials, human rights advocates and grassroots activists the reliable information they need to speak up for human rights in Haiti; 3) transnational grassroots advocacy that compels governments and powerful institutions in Haiti and abroad to respect Haitians human rights; and 4) systemic capacity building that develops a corps of Haitian human rights lawyers and advocates trained to fight for sustainable change in their country. IJDH seeks part-time and full-time interns to join our team for a minimum 3-month commitment (with potential to extend), beginning in August or September 2013. The positions are ideal for undergraduate or graduate students, recent graduates or professionals in transition interested in social justice and human rights as well as fundraising, communications, or office administration for small nonprofits. Interns and volunteers at IJDH are unpaid, but this position but will provide excellent experience and training in many aspects of the functioning of a nonprofit. IJDH will also work with student applicants who elect to obtain school credit. Part-time interns commit to 15-30 hours per week, working at least 2 days of the week out of the Boston office and remotely for any additional hours (IJDH is flexible and will work with class schedules). Full-time interns would work in the office 30-40 hours/week. Applicants that are willing to commit to 4+ months are preferred. The focus of each internship will vary (administration, fundraising, communications) depending on intern skills and interests and IJDH staff needs.
