IAN Volunteer and Community Education Project
 
 
 
We create our own tools, build platforms for others, and work with partners to harness the power of technology and collective action to better support immigrants and their advocates. As Volunteer and Community Education Project Coordinator, you will create, maintain, and promote a new online resource center. You'll be working with partners and experts in the field to collect and create training materials. The resource center will improve access to justice by supporting communication and understanding of the law for pro bonos and volunteers and helping immigrants and their advocates solve immigration legal problems. This position is a part of a 12 member VISTA cadre at Fordham Law School’s Feerick Center for Social Justice. In addition to the camaraderie and network the team brings, you will also have monthly check-ins with the Feerick Center Executive Director, weekly program meetings with senior staff, monthly professional development workshops led by the VISTA Leader, and if you are local, the opportunities to attend NYC networking and training events. This is an opportunity for someone with creativity, follow through, and initiative who can also work effectively and closely with a team.

Member Duties : The VISTA will continue to build an online resource center to help pro bono lawyers, volunteers and community members understand immigration law and changes. You will work with the legal director at IAN, within Pro Bono Net, to identify the best getting-started resources and trainings, post site content, track and share information on changes in immigration law and policy, identify gaps in information, and create trainings and materials to share. This includes working on webinars, podcasts, flyers, and social media. You will design outreach materials, and learn how to convey legal information to new advocates and the community. The primary goal of the project is to welcome pro bonos and volunteers into the field, and help them develop immigration legal expertise through basic trainings and information.
