The Hope Fellowship Program allows individuals with a deep commitment to the protection of women and children to significantly contribute to critical research and advocacy in the field of sex trafficking. Hope Fellows are typically law students, graduate students or professionals who demonstrate an understanding of human rights and how they relate to law, public policy, marketing and media. Special exceptions may be made for motivated undergraduate students with demonstrated experience in research, media, or policy. Fellowships usually last from three months to one year.
The Hope Fellowship Program is research intensive. The scope and nature of projects are determined by the needs of Shared Hope International and based on the talents and interests of the candidate.
