Learn how a nonprofit works from the inside while fighting for human rights for millions around the world! AASG interns will work closely with staff to manage the day-to-day procedures of this dynamic organization while gaining invaluable experience in operations and communications. In the process, interns will learn how to use new systems and cultivate communication and organizational skills—both essential to any career.
