Past Intern Highlights:
Recent interns such as Ian Thomson from Gonzaga Law School and Victoria from San Francisco joined our Law & Human Rights Internship in Ghana. They worked with the Legal Aid Commission, gained hands-on experience in human rights advocacy, and made meaningful community impact during their 4-week placements.

“Pro-Passion Projects was there for me every step of the way during my internship with the Legal Aid Commission. Joseph made sure I was well acquainted with the area and knew how to get around. On the weekends he showed me the sights around Accra. Top-notch service that allowed me to have an amazing volunteer experience.”
