Volunteer

Get involved with us by volunteering! ILAP offers a variety of opportunities for volunteers to gain experience and build skills while helping Maine's immigrant community.

Our work is possible only with the support of our volunteers, partners, and donors. Each individual effort together makes a powerful collective impact!

All the good feedback I witnessed from members of my community who benefit from ILAP services brought me to volunteering as a way to say thank you and to support their tremendous work. I have peace in my mind knowing that immigrant families can rely on lawyers and immigration service so easily.
— ILAP volunteer Nadine Pembele
 

Current Volunteer opportunities

Pro Bono Panel

If you are an attorney, visit our Pro Bono Panel page for information about how to get involved providing life-changing legal representation for asylum seekers, immigrant youth, and other immigrants in Maine. You can also contact Michelle Gentry at mgentry@ilapmaine.org for more information.

At this time, there are no other volunteer opportunities available. Here are a few other ways to support ILAP’s work:

  • Start by being an advocate. Connect with us to receive regular updates about our work, information about laws and policies that affect immigrants on the local and national levels, and calls to action to raise your voice.

  • Support ILAP. Make a gift to ILAP to help create a world where systems are rooted in justice and equity and where everyone belongs and thrives.


Internships

ILAP welcomes a small number of undergraduate and law school students as interns each year. We post all openings on our Employment page, typically in late winter or early spring. Hear from our 2023 Summer Interns about their experiences!
