VOLUNTEER
Australian Volunteers International (AVI), the founder of Lawyers Beyond Borders in Australia, has sent over 7000 volunteers to work in developing countries since their establishment almost 60 years ago. AVI believe international volunteering is one of the most effective forms of development assistance available. It empowers people to develop their own communities, access resources and achieve their full potential. Both members and non-members of Lawyers Beyond Borders can apply for volunteer positions through AVI, however it's important to note that there's a large demand for international legal volunteer assignments throughout the Australian legal community. Currently legal assignments are limited, however with the introduction and support of Lawyers Beyond Borders, we aim to work with our overseas partners to identify new assignments, allowing Australia’s legal professionals more opportunities to work with communities on locally-identified projects. Above and beyond traditional volunteering with AVI are the exclusive opportunties available to Lawyers Beyond Borders members, such as global e-volunteering, professional development training and a range of unique projects and initatives that will spawn from the conception of Lawyers Beyond Borders program.
