Regarding internships, research and volunteer positions

AHRC accepts a limited number of interns and volunteers each year.

AHRC invites interns from partner organizations in Asia, and these persons are given priority. For these persons, AHRC provides accommodation and support while in Hong Kong. The intern or their organization is expected to pay for the cost of travel to and from Hong Kong. Arrangements for duration of stay are flexible.

Other interns are also accepted, usually for three to six month periods. Interns with a particular research interest are preferred. Interns must also be prepared to accept assignments to countries in the region with difficult human rights conditions. AHRC does not provide any financial support or accommodation for these persons

Please note that all persons coming to AHRC as interns are strictly required to obtain the appropriate Training Visa from the Immigration Department of Hong Kong before arrival. This visa usually takes around three months to obtain.

Additionally, AHRC welcomes short-term researchers (for less than one month) any time, at its discretion. These persons are usually required to bring a laptop computer from which to work.

Volunteers are people already living, studying or working part time in Hong Kong SAR who are prepared to devote some time each week to working with AHRC. Volunteer roles vary, depending upon applicants' work interests, availability and flexibility.

Applications from regional partners and local volunteers are welcome at any time.
