The Presbyterian Church in Canada established a Peace and Human Security Internship Program with Project Ploughshares for Presbyterian university graduates in 2007.

Adam Parsons was the first participant in this program in 2007-2008, followed by Laura Ashfield the following year. Click here to watch an interview of Adam discussing the internship.

Melanie Ferrier, our most recent intern, completed her internship in April 2011. Melanie holds a BA in Political Science from McMaster University and gained field experience in Bangladesh, where she taught English and assisted local organizations in preparing reports on their programs and operations.

This program is made possible through undesignated bequest gifts to The Presbyterian Church in Canada.
