Work with Us
We don’t currently have any vacancies at MiCLU. Please check back again later.
Volunteering
As a charity we depend on the support of volunteers—both those who are in the legal field, and individuals with other skills.
Universities and law firms: we run a number of different volunteering projects, including with city law firms. If you are a law firm who would like to work with us, please contact miclu@islingtonlaw.org.uk
Other volunteering opportunities: we are thrilled whenever anyone wants to give their time and skills to help us. However we are a small team without a dedicated volunteer manager. Our needs change regularly, so please check back to see if you could be a good fit. Or alternatively please fill in this form and we’ll contact you.
Partner
We work with a range of partners—funders, pro bono supporters, as well as other legal and youth organisations, NGOs and local authorities who share our vision. We also provide expertise and support to a number of organisations as external consultants on a range of legal issues.
Please take a look at What we do and look at some of the specialist projects we have developed to date with partners and other organisations. If you think we might be able to support your work, please get in touch with us at miclu@islingtonlaw.org.uk
Take on a Case or Mentor an Asylum Seeker
If you would like to do something more to help improve outcomes for vulnerable young asylum seekers, please register your support.
Provide Mentoring or Befriending
Young asylum seekers have been increasingly isolated during the restrictions of the pandemic and feel fearful as a result of increased anti-migrant rhetoric. A regular check-in can provide much-needed support.
If you are able to help, please contact Esme Madill at esmem@islingtonlaw.org.uk
Take on an Asylum Case
If you are an immigration and asylum lawyer and have capacity to take on the case of a young person please contact Esme Madill at Esmem@islingtonlaw.org.uk.
