Internship / PA 509 Project : Transitions Global

Here is a potential internship or PA 509 project with Transitions Global, a local nonprofit that is working in Cambodia.

Today, right here in the United States, 300,000 American minor children are being trafficked for sexual exploitation. In Oregon, federal and local law enforcement believe they are encountering 3-5 girls per week who are victims of trafficking.

Transitions Global (TG) is based in Portland, OR and has been working with survivors of sexual trafficking in Cambodia's capital city, Phnom Penh, since 2004. Transitions' program works with 11-18 year old girls who are victims of forced prostitution, offering them a continuum of care including safe shelter, counseling, support, job training and placement.

Transitions Global is looking to fill an unpaid student grant writing position (this would also be a great opportunity for an MPA student looking for their PA509 project). The position would be 10-15 hours a week and would entail researching grant opportunities, drafting applications and working closely with founder James Pond to establish funding for the building of a safe shelter in Portland, OR.
