Job o' the Day: Illinois Justice Corps Program Coordinator at the Chicago Bar Foundation!
As part of a new AmeriCorps award from the Serve Illinois Commission, The Chicago Bar Foundation (CBF) is hiring for a new position, the Illinois JusticeCorps Program Coordinator. The Illinois JusticeCorps Program Coordinator will be responsible for day-to-day program functions, directing member recruitment and training activities and providing direction and leadership of the JusticeCorps members and additional volunteers who will assist people without lawyers in various legal court-based help centers throughout Cook County.
Illinois JusticeCorps is an innovative new program to enhance access to justice for the growing number of unrepresented people in the courts by empowering and training student volunteers and AmeriCorps members to help people without lawyers navigate the court system. Illinois JusticeCorps is modeled after the successful California JusticeCorps program, which has demonstrated that AmeriCorps members can assist in providing access to the legal system for those who lack legal representation.
