Changing Worlds is now able to offer a professional work relationship with law firms in either Argentina, Ghana or Southern India.

These work placements are limited in number and will only be available to those who can show evidence that they are intending to work in this field or already have some kind of experience that they would like to broaden in an overseas context.

In Ghana volunteers will work in the capital city of Accra. We have negotiated with a number of law firms in the city to welcome and accommodate volunteers from Changing Worlds.

In Southern India volunteers will work in the city of Chennai (formerly Madras). Here we are linked with a team of solicitors.

In Argentina we offer the unique opportunity to support in the construction of law and jurisdiction for HIV/AIDS sufferers and their families. In this case applicants must have a confident understanding of both written and spoken Spanish. Those with experience in this field would be very welcomed.

In all cases you will be working as part of a team in a busy working office environment. You will be assigned to a member of the team who will make you feel welcome, introduce you to the practice, give you an overview of the operations and act as your guide. You will shadow this person during the first weeks but after this you will have greater independence. You will be expected to arrive at work on time, be prepared to make the tea and maintain the professional status that this type of work demands.

You can expect to live with a local family. It is likely you will share a room with another volunteer. Accommodation, food and drinking water are all part of the Changing Worlds package.

Depending on the location of the offices you may have to pay for transport to and from work (maximum £2 per day in both directions!).
