Law and Human Rights Internship
A Law and Human Rights Internship in Ghana can be a very rewarding experience, allowing you to gain practical experience in human rights work while making a positive impact on the lives of vulnerable individuals. There are also enormous challenges in fighting and advocating for the adherence to human rights, especially in Ghana. Eduteen Ghana is here to facilitate the professional development and skills you need to meet that challenge.
Drive your studies or career forward with a legal internship in Ghana or real-world human rights work experience under your belt!
With us, you can take your career development to an international stage. Our legal internships help you:
- Get unparalleled insight into legal practices, human rights issues, and social challenges in low-income communities in Ghana.
- Learn directly from an international network of experienced lawyers and human rights professionals.
- Add practical work experience rooted in real, ongoing cases to your resume.
- Decide if pursuing law or human rights is the right career path for you (incredibly valuable for pre-law students!).
In Europe and the United States, they often take human rights and access to legal advice for granted. But there are people around the world, especially in Ghana, whose voices aren’t heard and whose causes aren’t championed. Eduteen Ghana connects interns like you with groups and individuals in Ghanaian communities who work tirelessly to change this.
Our programs are flexible, safe, and hassle-free. Furthermore, placements can be adjusted to your level of experience, so they can be tailored for undergraduates (pre-law), law students, graduates, and even professionals.

What do you learn from a Law internship?
A law internship abroad gives you skills that prepare you for the next stage of education and career. Living and working overseas also exposes you to different experiences and challenges you won’t encounter in Europe or the United States, so you’ll learn unique lessons.
Here are just some of the benefits:
- International competencies like teamwork, communication, leadership, resilience, organizing, planning, and time management.
- Learn about legal systems and practices different from what you would find in Europe or the United States.
- The ability to work and empathize with people of different cultures and backgrounds, helping to develop a ‘global mindset’.
- Confidence from pushing past your comfort zone.
All of the above will enhance your resume and your personal development.
