We will work with the successful applicant to develop a project proposal on addressing youth homelessness for specific funding from Equal Justice Works during the 2019-2020 funding cycle. The fellow would begin work with the ACLU-WA in the fall of 2020. We are particularly interested in working with a fellow to develop a project that will address the criminalization of poverty and the institutions and systems that contribute to youth homelessness. We will work with the prospective fellow to ensure the project develops the fellow’s skills and satisfies the funding organization’s requirements.
The ACLU is an equal opportunity employer. We value a diverse workforce and an inclusive culture. The ACLU encourages applications from all qualified individuals without regard to race, color, religion, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity or expression, age, national origin, marital status, citizenship, disability, veteran status, socio-economic circumstance, or record of arrest or conviction.
