Volunteer Opportunities

Dedicated and motivated volunteers play a key role in CGRS's work to defend women fleeing gender persecution.

While the position varies depending on the skills and interests of each individual, volunteers with CGRS generally take on tasks performing vital human rights / country conditions research, as well as finding expert witnesses. In the past, law students, undergraduate students, and professionals have all volunteered with CGRS. We require volunteers to commit to 10 hours a week, for a minimum of 3-4 months.
