  • Responsibilities

    The International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC) is a private, nonprofit organization, working to make the world safer for children by eradicating child abduction, sexual abuse, and exploitation through advocacy, training, and collaboration. As the workload of ICMEC continues to grow and resources are stretched, the contributions of interns are extremely important. ICMEC interns who share the same belief in our goals help to make the success stories happen.

The Koons Family Institute on International Law & Policy conducts and commissions original research into the status of child protection legislation around the world to help make children safer.
