Thanks to the support of the Lang Center for Civic and Social Responsibility, the Latin American and Latino Studies Program at Swarthmore College has partnered with The Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA) to offer a summer internship opportunity. WOLA is the leading non-governmental organization in Washington, DC devoted to research and advocacy surrounding human rights in Latin America.
