Are you looking for a meaningful way to support people directly and make a tangible impact in their lives? Join Justice Centre Hong Kong’s Welfare Team as a volunteer and help us provide essential support to individuals and families who were forced to leave their homes and find safety in Hong Kong.

The Legal Assistant Volunteer is a position for those with legal experience and for those with a passion for supporting refugee, asylum seekers and other forced migrants in the Hong Kong SAR. It is a structured position, generally requiring a minimum commitment of six months, with detailed training and supervision provided by Justice Centre’s experienced legal team. Volunteers will develop legal and practical expertise and deliver a valuable contribution to the Legal Services of Justice Centre Hong Kong, and to our clients.

One of Justice Centre’s clients, a woman from Madagascar, was recently granted protection on appeal by the Torture Claims Appeal Board (TCAB)—a decision that highlights the growing importance of recognising intimate partner violence as a legitimate ground for non-refoulement protection in Hong Kong.

We’re pleased to share that our Executive Director, Lynette Nam, was named one of the winners of the Tatler Front & Female Awards Hong Kong 2024. The award recognises women in the city who are quietly but powerfully reshaping their sectors—and it’s a thoughtful acknowledgment of Lynette’s steady leadership and years of commitment to those seeking protection in Hong Kong.

For 5 days from 27 May until 31 May sign up to live just one of the limitations that refugees face in Hong Kong. Budget to spend $40 a day on food and share your experience on social media to help us raise awareness for the plight of refugees living in our city.
