Staff Attorney

Youth Represent is seeking a full-time Staff Attorney to join our team.

Youth Represent is dedicated to using direct legal services, policy advocacy, community education and strategic litigation to advance change at the individual and collective level, centering young people in the work we do together. Through holistic legal representation, integrated mental health services, organizing, and youth development, we help young people navigate some of the most complex and inequitable systems in our city.

As a small team of community lawyers, our work is different from what you would expect at a traditional legal services organization. Our work is innovative, collaborative, and shifts with the ever changing and expanding needs of our youth. As a result, this position requires someone who is self-motivated and driven to problem-solve issues as they arise. This is an exciting position for someone who wants to do legal work but also has a passion for working directly with young people, playing an instrumental role in cultivating trust and building authentic relationships with them.
