How You Can Help
Please join our community of committed, fearless volunteers! There are so many ways for you to engage, from representing a detained asylum seeker to spending a week in Texas with a volunteer team. We also have remote opportunities through our remote bond teams—learn more here. Some opportunities are for pro bono attorneys, while others seek volunteers with a wide variety of skills to help with things like interpretation or to provide professional mental health evaluations for trauma survivors.
