UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA

HUMAN RIGHTS FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM

1989-2014

HUMAN RIGHTS FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM

The Human Rights Center encourages residents of the Upper Midwest—including students, teachers, lawyers, health professionals, community

leaders and others—to undertake practical experiences and internships in human rights organizations. The Fellowship Program is designed to

promote social justice by providing practical training in the varied aspects of human rights work worldwide. The fellowship placement should

provide both training for the individual and assistance to the host organization.

The Human Rights Fellowship Program fosters links between communities in the Upper Midwest and human rights or social justice

organizations around the world. Participants return with a stronger commitment to a lifetime of work in human rights and social justice and

contribute to communities in the Upper Midwest by sharing their experiences and raising awareness about human rights issues. The human

rights movement can benefit greatly from collaboration among individuals from different social, political, economic, and cultural backgrounds.
