  • Conducting legal and non-legal research and writing on topics such as human trafficking, child labor, forced labor, wildlife crime, counterterrorism, and election law

Our summer internship deadline has passed. Please check back soon for our call for Fall 2025 interns.

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!
