Due May 15: AmeriCorps JD – Summer Opportunities for 1Ls & 2Ls
Equal Justice Works is looking for 1Ls and 2Ls to be part of a summer of service with AmeriCorps JD. While serving in communities across the nation, student AmeriCorps JD Service Members can apply their legal skills and knowledge to provide effective representation for low-income and underserved populations. This year, we're looking for roughly 500 students to serve on projects focused on veterans, elder abuse, immigration (in NY only) and on civil legal aid generally. If students have already secured a position with a legal host site for the spring or summer that fits in one of these priority areas, they can apply now. If they are still looking for an organization to serve at this summer, they can click here for a list of sites seeking applicants.
All AmeriCorps JD service members will receive a $1,200 Segal AmeriCorps Education award upon successful completion of the program and are eligible to seek funding from the host or another source up to $4,422. The priority deadline is May 15, 2018.
