We recently sat down with Kara Clements, volunteer intern throughout this past spring semester, to learn a little bit more about who she is and why she chose to volunteer with the Center for Victim and Human Rights.
Center for Victim and Human Rights’ (CVHR) very own Emily Djabi has been appointed as committee chair to The Indiana Protection for Abused and Trafficked Humans Task Force’s (IPATH) Community Awareness, Prevention, and Education (CAPE) committee, formerly known as the Outreach Committee. Emily began her work at CVHR as a volunteer interpreter, as she wanted to be involved with CVHR’s cause in any way she could contribute, eventually accepting a job as Community Outreach Coordinator in 2016. She is a recent graduate of IUPUI’s School of Public and Environmental Affairs, completing a Master of Public Affairs in Non-Profit Management in summer of 2017. She is eager for the opportunity to play a direct role in combating human trafficking as chair of CAPE Committee.
In December of 2017, the Center for Victim and Human Rights hired a new Staff Attorney, Leontiy V. Korolev, thanks to the Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust. The Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust was established upon the death of Nina Mason Pulliam in 1997 to support the causes she loved in her home states of Arizona and Indiana. The Trust seeks to help people in need, protect animals and nature, and enrich community life in metropolitan Indianapolis and Phoenix. Since its inception the Trust has distributed more than $283 million. For more information visit www.ninapulliamtrust.org.
