Are you a people person who is good at networking, writing and event planning? Justice Without Borders (JWB) is recruiting volunteers to help advance our regional funding development projects. This position will help to develop our relationship with funders in order to advance access to just compensation for migrant worker victims of human trafficking and labour exploitation.

Details of the position

• Make a difference in the lives of a vulnerable population by building support for access to just compensation.

About JWB

We provide direct logistic and legal support to ongoing cases, as well as original strategic research for front-line practitioners. Operating at the regional level, we work with local support organisations along key migration routes to ensure victims can access legal aid, wherever they are.

Skills we are looking for

• Strong English writing ability.
• Previous grant writing or fundraising experience is a plus.

• Willingness to learn and flexibility when it comes to work.
• Self-directed, ability to take on tasks proactively.
• Team player, ability to work with others, including college students and professionals.

Work location and time commitment
