This position is fully remote and requires a 20–25 hour weekly commitment. The ideal candidate will lead the design of the LoopLegal program infrastructure, recruit and manage a team of legal volunteers, and oversee operations leading into our full launch.

This volunteer role will transition into a paid position after our public launch.

• Oversee the creation of educational legal resources for reentry and expungement support.
• Maintain program documentation, compliance logs, and metrics for reporting.
• Collaborate directly with the Founder and leadership team on program scaling and funding readiness.

Qualifications

• Background in Law, Legal Studies, Public Policy, or Criminal Justice.
• Prior experience managing people, projects, or volunteer teams preferred.
• Strong research, writing, and organizational skills.
• Commitment to justice reform, social equity, and reentry empowerment.
• Self-starter who thrives in a remote, mission-driven work environment.

What You’ll Gain

• Leadership experience in building a nonprofit legal aid program from the ground up.
• Opportunity to shape program design and long-term structure.
• Direct collaboration with organizational leadership and legal partners.
• Letter of recommendation and pathway to a paid Program Manager position post-launch
