Unpaid Internship Opportunities

Houston Rescue and Restore Coalition is a non-profit organization that exists to raise awareness about modern-day slavery for the direct purpose of victim identification. We accomplish this goal through equipping professionals and the public to recognize Human Trafficking and identify victims for rescue and restoration. As an intern with HRRC, you will gain valuable work experience while contributing to the new abolitionist movement.

The US Department of Justice states that at least 75% of minors exploited through prostitution are controlled by a pimp (US DOJ, March 11, 2008).

All are summer or semester-long internships.  The flowing listing is a sampling of possible internship opportunities with HRRC.  We believe that all interns should have an impactful, meaningful experience working at HRRC.  As such, if you have an interest in an area that is not listed, please feel free to contact the office with your idea and how you would like to make a difference in the anti-human trafficking movement.
