Resources for Undergraduate Students
From human rights courses to internships to our Undergraduate Working Group and more, the Human Rights Program at the University of Minnesota offers numerous opportunities for undergraduate students to build their knowledge and skills in human rights work and participate in human rights activism on campus and beyond.
Career Exploration
Beyond the University, the Human Rights Program encourages students to pursue internships and career opportunities with human rights NGOs around the Twin Cities. We also encourage students interested in human rights to volunteer with related on-campus research projects or conduct their own research.
Human Writes
Human Writes is a student-led platform dedicated to exploring and advocating for human rights. It offers students a voice to raise awareness, address challenges, and promote change on issues that matter. Guided by a commitment to justice, dignity, and inclusivity, Human Writes uplifts emerging voices and empowers the next generation of human rights advocates.
Brewing Justice Coffee Hours
Human Rights Coffee Hours is a bi-weekly, student-led event intended for other students to get to know the HRP and the Undergraduate Working Group, explore human rights career and academic opportunities, and learn about ways to make human rights change inside and outside of the classroom.
HRP Undergraduate Working Group
The Undergraduate Working Group is a way for undergraduate voices to help shape HRP programming and policies. Students work on projects including the Brewing Justice Coffee Hours, help plan events, and more. There is a call for applications at the start of the fall semester.
