(Social) Legal Officer

Become a volunteer at Refugee Council's Legal Support Centre in Leeuwarden. Are you looking for a valuable way to spend your time? Do you really want to mean something to people who desperately need your support? Then sign up with VluchtelingenWerk and help refugees on their way to a safe future.

What will you do? As a volunteer, you offer legal support to refugees. You will help them with questions on legal matters. Examples include applications for family reunification and extension of residence permits. No experience in the legal world? No problem! We offer you training and guidance so you can start working with confidence.

Why this is for you: 

• Meaningful work: you help people making a fresh start in the Netherlands.
• Personal growth: you will learn new skills, deepen your knowledge and work with an engaged team.
• A warm network: You become part of a community of like-minded volunteers.

We assist clients by appointment during consultation hours on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 10.00 am to 4.00 pm. As a volunteer, you will help out during these consultation hours. It would be great if you could be available for at least 4 hours on one (or more) of these days.
