Careers

VECINA’s mission is to empower immigrant justice advocates by mentoring attorneys, educating communities, and mobilizing volunteers. Our primary activities revolve around training and mentoring pro bono attorneys and other volunteers who are providing pro bono legal assistance to refugees, asylum seekers, and unaccompanied children. 

At VECINA we firmly believe that diversity makes the world a better place and brings immeasurable value to our work. People of color, LQBTQ+ individuals, and individuals from diverse backgrounds or immigrant communities are strongly encouraged to apply. VECINA does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, ethnic background, citizenship status, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, or disability.
