a Project of Ayuda, Inc.

PATIRN is a program established to provide direct legal services to 
people trafficked into the Washington, DC metropolitan area.
                                                  
Trafficking Related Services Provided Through PATIRN at Ayuda, Inc, include:

         Direct Legal Services, including T, U nonimmigrant visas, 
asylum, and wage & hour;
         Information and assistance during the criminal case against 
their traffickers;
         Case Management;
         Legal, public health and law enforcement trainings; and,
         Community Education about trafficking, how to identify 
trafficked persons and what to do next.

Interns working with PATIRN will:

Be responsible for assisting, Melanie Orhant, the staff attorney with 
trafficking cases and researching legal issues surrounding 
trafficking.  Additional work will be given to interns based upon 
their experience, motivation and dedication to the issue.  Interns 
are required to keep detailed and accurate records and maintain 
client confidentiality.  During the summer interns are required to 
work 40 hours a week, Monday through Friday from 9-5 for the entire 
summer.  Internships at Ayuda are unpaid.

PATIRN believes that trafficking affects men, women and children and 
that people are trafficked for all types of labor.

Fluency in French and/or Spanish is helpful, but is not essential for 
PATIRN.   Experience with trafficking in persons, immigration law 
and/or criminal law is helpful.
