Defend Them All hosts an annual Virtual Advocacy Internship Program for students interested in exploring animal and environmental law and policy. As part of this program students are tasked with developing and presenting a pitch video exploring new issues in the field. The diverse backgrounds and interests of these students have fostered productive conversations and compelling ideas - we are excited to share their project proposals with you!
