One of the unique aspects of IJM’s work is that we provide on going professional investigation, legal and social work services for our clients. However, due to the nature of our client-based work, it is rare for us to have short-term opportunities for those who desire direct contact with our clients.

Instead we ask volunteers to join the movement to help restore justice systems in the developing world by supporting for our awareness and fundraising initiatives. Specific volunteer positions will be posted as volunteer needs arise.

There are no short term opportunities available at this time. Please review the Fellowship and Internship page on our website for more information about 6 to 12 month opportunities at IJM’s field offices in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.

Due to the nature and location of our casework, it is rare that we can offer pro-bono opportunities for lawyers who hope to assist us while remaining within the United States. Our biggest volunteer need is for lawyers to participate in our Legal Fellowship program, which requires a commitment of 6 to 12 months. The long term commitment is needed so people can learn an entirely new legal system and adapt to a new culture in the developing world.
