ORGANIZATION: Open Door Legal

  • 2 people are interested

Open Door Legal is an innovative nonprofit addressing poverty in real-time by building universal access to legal representation starting in San Francisco's low-income communities of color.

We moved into our office in the Excelsior district of San Francisco three months before the pandemic hit our communities. The state of the backyard of the office was in disrepair and we had initially anticipated redoing it to make it more available for staff to be outside and allow for open-air meetings. However, due to the pandemic, these plans have been held off until now!

We are looking for a landscaper or gardener to help make this wild outdoor space into a beautiful and peaceful open-air respite for our hard-working staff and our incredibly resilient clients.

Some potential projects for this space include:

  • Creating a plan to block direct sunlight with a pergola or something similar.
  • Creating a plan to minimize wind
  • Identifying new, drought-safe, non-invasive plants
  • Creating an area for 3-4 small tables and chairs
Please contact Kelsey Renz, our Volunteer Coordinator, directly (kelseyr@opendoorlegal.org) OR apply online here: https://opendoorlegal.org/volunteer/ as we do NOT collect candidates from VolunteerMatch.

Mission Statement

Open Door Legal is pioneering universal access to civil legal representation and showing that when everyone has access to the law, poverty can be dramatically reduced.

Description

"It always seems impossible until it’s done." - Nelson Mandela

We believe that even the biggest problems can be broken down into small, achievable steps. Poverty and access to justice are part of the same problem. And to solve this, we just need to discover what the steps are.

At Open Door Legal, we’re pioneering the country’s first system of universal access to civil legal representation to dramatically reduce poverty and prove that the law really can belong to all of us.

To achieve this ambitious goal, we’ve created an award-winning and best-in-class legal aid organization full of passionate, dynamic, gritty, quixotic, and team-oriented people.

We believe that injustice is the heart of poverty and we're looking for someone to join us in having a systemic impact on how we, as a society, ensure justice for all.
