The Phoenix Legal Action Network (PLAN) is looking for a leader with the ability and desire to engage in significant fundraising to ensure the sustainability of PLAN and to convert its mission and vision into solid strategies and actions that align with our core values. The ideal candidate is an authentic, inclusive, and inspirational leader committed to equity and justice and centering the experiences of the immigrant clients and communities we work with.
Who We Are
The Phoenix Legal Action Network (PLAN) works in solidarity with the local immigrant community to reimagine justice in Arizona. We are a small and growing nonprofit organization that has been providing free immigration legal services to keep families together and stop deportations since 2018. Funding permitting, we hope to expand into housing defense in 2025. We also understand that legal services, while important, do not change the laws and systems that oppress and exclude immigrant communities. In recognition of these limitations, PLAN partners with local immigrant-led organizations to build community power and democratize legal information. We also use storytelling to push back against anti-immigrant sentiment. Learn more about us at www.planphx.org.
Salary: $95,000 - $110,000
Start Date: As soon as possible, but flexible for the right candidate.
Reports to: A dedicated and engaged Board of Directors, half of whom are women of color and identify broadly with the immigrant experience, support PLAN’s mission and staff. This includes regular meetings with the Board Chair.
Location: Phoenix, Arizona. We offer a flexible, hybrid work environment.
