Job Description: Migrant Farm Worker Division Grant/Fellowship Attorneys (2 positions)
Location: Denver, CO
Classification: Non-Exempt (Full-time)
Reports To: Managing Attorney, MFWD
Salary Range: $66,422 - $108,011 (commensurate with experience) plus $4,200 annual stipend
ORGANIZATION OVERVIEW:
Colorado Legal Services (CLS) is Colorado’s statewide nonprofit legal aid program, with thirteen offices providing civil legal assistance to low-income Coloradans throughout the state. CLS provides free legal assistance in a broad variety of legal areas including family law, eviction defense, consumer protection, services to survivors of serious crime and human trafficking, and many others.
CLS has strengthened lives, assisted families, and supported communities -- one person at a time for over 90 years. We are committed to providing high-quality, free legal advice and representation to eligible individuals throughout Colorado. We have a long history of successful high impact and advocacy. CLS strives to bring about substantive, transformational change in the lives of those we serve.
POSITION SUMMARY:
The Migrant Farm Worker Division is a specialized statewide program of CLS that litigates cases in federal and state courts and provides administrative advocacy for low-wage farm workers across Colorado on a wide range of employment-related problems such as unpaid wages, sexual harassment, human trafficking, immigration, and civil rights violations. Due to the barriers that have historically interfered with farm workers’ access to legal services, the MFWD employs a robust outreach and community education program, engaging directly with farm workers and community-based organizations that serve farm workers throughout Colorado.
These positions are funded for a period of at least 2 years, with the possibility of renewal. The attorneys will work in collaboration with the rest of the MFWD team to serve the legal needs of low- wage seasonal and migrant farm workers throughout Colorado and to implement advocacy strategies that have a broad impact and achieve long term change for our client communities. While primarily focused on employment law, the MFWD sets priorities according to client need. The attorneys will handle a full caseload and will conduct client counseling and representation, outreach and education, public education and collaboration with legal and community partners.
