    • About Us

    Valerie Zukin was a fierce immigrant rights lawyer dedicated not just to her clients, but to mentoring new attorneys to fight for detained and other marginalized immigrants. The Valerie Zukin Memorial Fellowship was established in September 2021, when Valerie passed at the age of 41. The Fellowship honors Valerie’s memory and legacy by continuing her mentorship work. Summer fellows gain hands-on experience advocating for immigrants in detention and enjoy close mentorship from Valerie’s former colleagues and friends.

    The Fellowship rotates between host organizations. Inaugural summer fellows worked at Immigrant Legal Defense (ILD) and Northwest Immigrant Rights Project (NWIRP) in 2022 and again in 2024. In 2023 and 2025, fellows worked at the California Collaborative for Immigrant Justice (CCIJ) and ILD. In 2026, NWIRP and ILD will each host one Fellow for a 10-week, full-time fellowship paying $15,000 over the course of the summer.
