• Interest or experience in Swedish and EU immigration law.
• Commitment to human rights and social justice.
• Strong communication and advocacy skills.
• Applications from individuals with a foreign background (born abroad or with at least one foreign-born parent) are highly encouraged.
• Proficiency in languages common among immigrant communities (e.g., Ukrainian, Arabic, Persian, Kurdish, Turkish, Somali, or Bosnian) is a significant advantage.

✨ Why Volunteer with Us?

• Directly influence a project aimed at systemic change for immigrant rights.
• Be a founding member of our legal advocacy arm.
• Build your professional profile alongside other legal experts.
