Partnership with NGO Provides AGS Students with Internship Opportunities in Paris

AGS is proud to announce a new institutional partnership with HERA France, an NGO dedicated to helping women who have been victims of violence, exploitation, or trafficking, by providing them with training and mentoring as a path to autonomy.

As part of this new partnership, HERA France will provide two semester-long internships every year to AGS students enrolled in the Master's program in International Relations and Diplomacy, as well as shorter-term internships to all of the students enrolled in the NGO Management courses at AGS. This will be a unique opportunity for AGS students from around the world to gain firsthand experience in the NGO field in Paris.

In addition, HERA speakers will regularly participate in AGS's NGO courses as well as in the school's conferences and other academic activities. This will be a way to both support AGS's mission of educating principled leaders of tomorrow and world citizens with a strong sense of civic engagement, and to support HERA's mission through competent contributions to the organization's endeavours.

A branch of the long-established nonprofit UK organization HERA - Entrepreneurs Against Trafficking, HERA France was founded in 2013 by Chiara Condi, a graduate of Harvard University, Sciences Po Paris, and the London School of Economics with extensive experience in humanitarian aid. It works in close relationship with other institutions and associations dedicated to breaking the cycle of violence. The organization was connected with AGS by one of AGS's alumni, Christine Brownfield, who now works at HERA France.
