Volunteer Opportunities and Internships

ESPAÑOL|FRANÇAIS

RAICES provides opportunities for volunteers and attorneys to contribute
pro bono work to our projects. For over two decades, volunteers have been an
essential part of RAICES’ service to the community. RAICES has hosted long-
term volunteers from the Mennonite Voluntary service as well as law school
student interns. In addition, RAICES currently partners with pro bono attorneys
from law firms, solo and small-firm law practices in the San Antonio area and
from throughout south and central Texas.

We are always looking for dedicated individuals willing to donate their time and
efforts to our mission.

Currently we are seeking volunteers for the following positions:

Pro Bono Attorneys: RAICES welcomes lawyers who volunteer their direct
services or consulting expertise in areas of law that affect out clients’ immigration
matters, such as family law and criminal law. Because the numbers of low income
and indigent people in need of representation before Immigration Courts and
tribunals is always greater than the resources available, RAICES provides
mentoring as well as technical support to members of the private bar who agree
to represent these vulnerable members of the community, including long-time
Texas residents who are fighting separation from their families, newly arrived
immigrants seeking safety from persecution and torture in their countries of
origin, and children fleeing abuse or abandonment.

Internships: RAICES also appreciates law students and will work with
applicants to design fellowship proposals as well as provide supervision to those
whose work may qualify for credit hours under their university or law school’s
internship program.
