    Dear Changemaker with a Law Degree,

    At Responder Relief Fund Corp, we’re searching for a big-hearted attorney to lend their professional skills to our Executive Board. If you’ve ever wanted to use your legal superpowers for more than billable hours – this is your chance to protect and guide a nonprofit that supports first responders in their darkest moments.

    • What You’ll Bring to the Boardroom:

    ✓ Reviewing contracts and policies with your expert eye

    ✓ Guiding us through compliance maze (501(c)(3) regulations, state filings, etc.)

    ✓ Being our “legal translator” for non-attorney board members

    ✓ Spotting risks before they become problems

    ✓ Occasionally high fiving when we get it all right

    • Have an active law license (any state)
    • Enjoy using your skills for good (nonprofit experience a plus but not required)
    • Can explain legal concepts without putting people to sleep

    • Dream Team: Work with passionate professionals
    • Flexible Commitment: Mostly remote, on your schedule
    • Ready to Serve Those Who Serve?
    • P.S. This fulfills pro bono hours while making real change. Perfect for attorneys wanting to give back without weekly commitments!
    • Note: This is an unpaid governance position with 2-year renewable term. Professional references provided for outstanding service.*
