Loretto Justice Fellowship
Loretto Justice Fellowship matches social work and pre-law students from the University of Texas-El Paso to social justice internships with El Paso-based partner organizations. These organizations are on the front lines of work aligned with Loretto mission and values. Our Loretto Justice Fellows build the capacity of these local partners, contributing to and learning from the critical impact of these organizations.
