In 2005, the Midwest Coalition for Human Rights began the Summer Human Rights Fellowship Program in which fellows are placed with Coalition members to address human rights issues of concern in the Midwest.
Work performed by the fellows contributes greatly not only to the goals and objectives of the host organization, but to the broader regional effort to raise awareness of regional, national, and international human rights issues. Fellows work with the host organization and Coalition partners to develop concrete strategies to effectively advocate for improved recognition of human rights in the Midwest and in the broader United States.
