Bilingual Staff Attorney – Workers’ Rights & Community Justice

The Bilingual Staff Attorney will provide direct legal services to farmworkers facing employment-related harm, conduct Know Your Rights workshops, co-develop popular education materials, and work directly with staff from our partner organization, Central Valley Empowerment Alliance. Working collaboratively with CVEA and other community organizations, the attorney will help tailor services to the evolving needs of the community. While the work will be employment-law heavy, the approach is holistic and rooted in the understanding that workers' rights extend beyond the workplace—addressing interconnected issues such as housing access, and other social determinants of wellbeing. The position blends litigation and community lawyering—focused on access, dignity, and system-level impact.

We Strongly Encourage You to Apply If:

• You’ve been a worker, organizer, or advocate before becoming a lawyer
• You believe the law should serve people, not systems
• You’re ready to build something with and for the community—not just represent it
