The
Valerie Zukin Memorial Fellowship was established in September 2021 to honor our beloved friend and colleague, Valerie Anne Zukin, by advancing the development of more fierce and compassionate immigration lawyers like her.
Applications are now being accepted for the inaugural two summer fellows, who will be housed at Northwest Immigrant Rights Project (NWIRP) in Tacoma, WA and Immigrant Legal Defense (ILD) in Oakland, CA — the first and last organizations where Valerie represented detained clients. All positions are currently remote.
The postings are on
idealist.org:
here (ILD) and
here (NWIRP). Kindly share widely, especially with law students or colleagues at law schools that do not offer summer public interest funding.
The 10-week summer fellowships will pay $15,000 each.
