About Asylum Access Asylum Access is a leading global refugee human rights organization. Headquartered in Oakland, California with substantial operations in three countries plus partnerships in additional countries across Africa, Asia, and Latin America, Asylum Access works to make human rights a reality for refugees in first countries of refuge.

Our unique combination of policy advocacy and legal empowerment creates conditions in which refugees can better live safely, move freely and work legally. By helping refugees assert their rights, we put power back into their hands. Our work transforms the traditional approach of endless humanitarian handouts to a sustainable solution that gives refugees the tools to provide for themselves and make choices about their own lives.

Asylum Access envisions a world where refugees are seen as people with rights, not just people with needs. Asylum Access believes that by empowering refugees to assert their human rights, we can create effective, lasting solutions for refugees around the world.

Position Description The Special Advisor Volunteer Advocate will work directly with Asylum Access s Executive Director and regularly engage with top global leadership of the organization during the course of this prestigious one-year full-time volunteer position.

The Special Advisor position involves accompanying the Executive Director in internal and external online meetings, including with government and multilateral representatives, peer NGOs, donors and funders, and staff at Asylum Access operations around the world.

If resources permit, the Special Advisor may have the opportunity to join in-person meetings from time to time.

As time permits and in line with organizational goals, the Special Advisor may take on special projects such as developing and delivering in-house or external trainings or partnerships, leading participation in and strengthening connections to global networks, and/or developing and implementing new organizational initiatives.
The Special Advisor Volunteer Advocate position requires quick thinking, strategic analysis, and creative problem-solving to strengthen and grow Asylum Access s reach and impact in service of our mission.
