How You Can Help
The New England Innocence Project provides pro bono legal assistance to inmates who have claims of actual innocence. We also seek to develop and implement legal reforms that will hasten the identification and release of innocent prisoners, and address the underlying causes of these wrongful convictions. Your contribution will assist us tremendously in working towards these goals. Thank you for your generosity.
“I missed 10 years with my daughters and my nephew- I wasn’t able to be there for them. I also lost friends and family while I was locked up.” -Neil Miller, exonerated 2000

As a non-profit, NEIP can only function with the help of motivated volunteers. Currently, we are seeking the following types of volunteers:
- NEIP has a competitive legal internship program for law students who have completed at least one year of law school, or two years if enrolled in a part-time program. The internship requires students to commit 10 hours a week throughout the fall or spring semester, or full time in the summer months. Please send a resumé, cover letter and writing sample to intake@newenglandinnocence.org to be considered for an internship. We are no longer accepting applications for the summer of 2012.
- A Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with previous experience working with individuals that have recently been released from incarceration and/or individuals with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
- Attorneys with previous criminal defense or appellate experience.
