Thank you for your interest in volunteering with us and supporting human rights. Regrettably, we are only able to take on a limited number of volunteers. We want to make sure that our volunteers are properly supervised and have interesting, challenging work.

We do take law student volunteers through established programs with universities and organisations, and these programs will be advertised through the relevant organisation. Unfortunately, we do not have the capacity to take on high school work experience placements.
