Internships

LWOB Lawyers Without Borders is pleased to announce that the application period for our Summer 2025 Internship Program will open on February 1, 2026.

LWOB internships offer students the opportunity to engage in substantive legal and policy work supporting access to justice, human rights, and the rule of law. Interns work closely with LWOB staff on projects that may include legal research, policy analysis, program support, and advocacy initiatives across a range of thematic and geographic areas.

The Summer 2025 program is open to qualified law students, graduate students, and advanced undergraduates with a demonstrated interest in human rights, international law, public interest law, or related fields.

Internships require in-person office time at LWOB’s Washington D.C. offices. If you cannot attend in person, LWOB will not consider your application.

To apply, send a cover letter explaining your interest in working at LWOB, as well as a CV, to jobs@lwob.org. The deadline for applications is March 1, 2026.

Volunteer

Volunteers are vital to the functioning of Lawyers Without Borders. We rely on the help of talented individuals dedicated to promoting the rule of law across the world. We accept United States and international volunteers. A law degree is not an essential requirement for a volunteer position with LWOB.

Volunteer opportunities vary based on our current projects and activities but are generally limited. We occasionally have the need for assistance on administrative or research projects. Volunteers with language skills such as Arabic, Dari, Spanish, or Kiswahili, could be a key group. We do not generally send volunteers to do projects in the field.

Your interest in our work is very much appreciated, and we encourage you to support us through a donation!
