Testimonials
“From working in a health clinic in the U.S. to a rural health clinic in Cambodia as a Peace Corps volunteer, I have seen how health is a global challenge. My interest in the legality of health access led me to study law and advocate for access to healthcare for all. … I have a longstanding passion for accessible and affordable healthcare and am deeply grateful to the Sorensen Center for the Fellowship opportunity.”

“My goal going into the internship was to learn how international law is used to advocate for marginalized communities on the ground. … My Sorensen Fellowship internship with OutRight Action International provided me with both concrete advocacy skills and a deeper knowledge of global LGBTIQ legal issues. I am excited to utilize the invaluable skills I learned at OutRight as I forge my legal career.”

“Through working with human rights defenders in Colombia and in New York this summer, I’ve seen that the problems in the US are not unique. They permeate every struggle for freedom from Colombia to Canada.”

“My internship with District Council 37 Municipal Employees Legal Services was a transformative experience. I was able to confirm that serving working people and dedicating my life to public service is, and will always be, my life’s mission. I am left with a renewed sense of urgency to listen, learn, and act in a way that moves the trajectory of the world toward equity and justice.”
