Volunteer Opportunities
Due to Covid-19, some of our volunteer opportunities are unavailable. But we still have many ways for you to get involved! Read the descriptions below to learn more.
Data Entry
We are always in need of help maintaining all the data it takes to run a law office. Ideal volunteers for this role are attentive to detail, type accurately, and are comfortable using a computer. This role is available on weekdays from 9 am to 5 pm, for shifts of a minimum of 2 hours.
Translation
This role can be performed remotely. Usually, volunteer translators work more generally on internal documents when the need arises from our attorneys or staff. A brief internal training is required to ensure that translations are standardized.
Interpreters
Interpreters help provide language access at the above events/projects, or on an on-call basis when caseworkers need a particular language. Priority languages are currently Portuguese and French.
Fundraising ideas:
“Give”Your Birthday
Use your birthday, anniversary, or other milestone to make an impact! Consider "giving" your celebration to NMILC! We will help you set-up an online donation page specific to your event. A customized link will enable your friends and relatives to donate to NMILC.
Of course, you can still throw a party! In fact, we will send you a promo kit with information about our services, NMILC stickers, and a NMILC t-shirt, to help you celebrate.
Host a Home Event
Want to share NMILC’s mission with your friends but not sure how? We’ve created a complete Toolkit to help you host an NMILC House Event at your home! You choose the time, place, and guest list, and a member of NMILC’s staff will be in attendance to share about our mission, give updates on immigration news, and provide ways to get involved or donate. Learn more about hosting a house event by emailing our Volunteer & Development Coordinator, Delaney Swink, at dswink@nmilc.org.
Get Creative!
Are you a cyclist or runner with an upcoming race? Consider using it as a fundraising opportunity for NMILC! We will provide you with stickers and promotional items for your event. Let us help you find a way to connect your interests with NMILC!
