About this Opportunity

Become an Illinois JusticeCorps Fellow and Make a Difference!

As a JusticeCorps Fellow, you will be placed in a courthouse to empower individuals who cannot afford an attorney to navigate the complexities of the civil justice system. By providing essential support and guidance, you will help ensure that everyone has access to justice.

You will also gain invaluable experience by leading a team of volunteers, creating impactful projects, collecting data, observing court proceedings, and building lasting relationships with like-minded individuals. While support and guidance will be available, we are seeking self-motivated individuals who are eager to learn, driven to make a difference, and capable of working independently. The ideal candidate will be resourceful, independent, and driven to succeed; they will proactively seek out opportunities for growth and hold themselves accountable for meeting responsibilities and maintaining high performance, even with minimal supervision.

Full-time Fellows receive a $25,000 living allowance, while half-time Fellows receive $12,500. Additionally, all members who successfully complete their term of service are eligible for an educational award of up to $7,395.00
