Volunteer Positions

As a small non-profit organization, PJI relies on the help of volunteers and pro bono professionals who are dedicated to advancing justice for victims and survivors of atrocity crimes. We are grateful for volunteer support from students, professionals or retirees.

On occasion, we also work with lawyers, non-legal professionals, and other volunteers on a pro bono basis on more limited and discrete projects.  This includes appellate work, foreign language translation, country monitoring, research, fundraising, marketing, IT/tech, web and graphic design, and administrative assistance.

If you are interested in providing pro bono support to PJI, please email  probono@partnersinjustice.org with the subject line “Volunteer at PJI.” We will get in touch with you as appropriate opportunities arise.   

Institutional Partnerships

PJI partners with outside law firms, investigation firms, law clinics, and others who provide significant pro bono resources to help PJI advance justice for victims of atrocities crimes in their home jurisdictions.

If your institution may be interested in providing pro bono support for PJI’s work, please email probono@partnersinjustice.org. 

Your support ensures that we can continue to work with national practitioners and bring justice to the survivors and victims of the most serious crimes in their own countries.
