Job Opportunities
Outreach & Engagement Coordinator Fellowship
Chesapeake Legal Alliance is a team of environmental lawyers — both staff and volunteers — who stand ready to help all types of Bay advocates protect their communities and waterways for FREE! We think this is a pretty great deal. We are seeking a talented and professional Outreach and Engagement Coordinator to join our team.
As the Outreach and Engagement Coordinator, your goal will be to:
- manage CLA’s Pro Bono Center, which involves conducting all intakes for the organization and assisting clients in pinpointing their legal needs,
- raise awareness about the variety of services offered by CLA lawyers,
- ensure the communities in need of our services know that we are here to help,
- welcome people into the (often intimidating) legal world and pair them with a wonderful volunteer lawyer to help,
- provide litigation support to our volunteer lawyers and staff,
- recruit new volunteer lawyers to join our team so that we can serve more people,
- remind our active volunteers how much we value them,
- continuously spread the word about CLA’s successes, and
- inspire more people to support our efforts to protect and restore the environmental and public health of the Chesapeake watershed.
We are seeking a self-motivated, enthusiastic, and community-driven person to take on this exciting new role. This position requires a positive attitude, creativity, and readiness to be a team player with a group of talented (and likely type-A) lawyers. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to communicate with diverse audiences via social media, are required. Must be detail-oriented and able to work with highly confidential information. Occasional travel within the Bay watershed will be required.
This is a two-year fellowship serving as a key member of our team, and reporting to our Executive Director, David Reed. The fellow will have the opportunity to flex legal skills while performing client intakes, and spot issues that cover a diverse range of legal topics to pinpoint the help our clients need. The fellow will also have the opportunity to gain litigation and policy experience, spending approximately 20% of his or her time working with CLA staff on litigation and policy initiatives.
