McLean County JusticeCorps Fellow Application

McLean County JusticeCorps Fellow Application

Illinois JusticeCorps places volunteers in courthouses to help people without lawyers navigate the civil justice system. Illinois JusticeCorps is an AmeriCorps program.

Fellows work with courthouse staff to provide a variety of services to people who can't afford an attorney, or simply need a better understanding of the court system and its procedures. JusticeCorps volunteers do not give legal advice, instead they empower people with the tools they need to represent themselves. Fellows also:
➢ Lead a team of volunteers
➢ Create Americorps projects and events
➢ Collect data for quarterly reports
➢ Watch court, observe judges and attorneys
➢ Build friendships with other service-minded people
Full-time position available - 1700 hours (35 hours/week)
$25,000 stipend, education and student loan deferment
