Who We Are: Justice At Last is the only nonprofit law firm in the San Francisco Bay Area exclusively serving the legal needs of survivors of human trafficking. We provide clients with free legal services regardless of their age, sex, gender identity, abilities and equity needs, nationality or type of trafficking. We emphasize a holistic approach that empowers survivors to achieve justice on their own terms.

Board of Director: We are in need of volunteers experienced in serving as a Board member. The right candidate will be familiar with serving as a Board Director of a nonprofit, and comfortable with fundraising and being an ambassador for Justice At Last.

Join us and have the opportunity to impact social justice and help enhance the lives of trafficked persons. We are expanding and diversifying our Board of Directors, with a goal of being inclusive and ensuring members have a sense of belonging.

We are seeking candidates that are representative of the community we serve, have Board experience and a particular skill set, such as data analysis, event planning, finance, fund raising, human resources, marketing, or strategic planning expertise.

There is a requirement that the Board of Directors be residents within the San Francisco Bay Area. Board of Director terms are 3 years and there are 6 virtual or hybrid meetings per year, usually the 1st Saturday morning of every even month (February, April, June, August, October, December). Responsibilities include:

About JUSTICE AT LAST

Location:

PO BOX 566, SAN CARLOS, CA 94070, US

Mission Statement

Our mission is to empower those who have been labor trafficked and commercially sexually exploited by providing access to free comprehensive legal services, advocacy and specialized trainings to help transform survivors’ lives. Justice At Last’s vision is for survivors of human trafficking to define justice in their terms, obtain justice, embrace justice and thrive through justice.

Description

Justice At Last is the only nonprofit law firm in the San Francisco Bay Area exclusively serving the legal needs of survivors of human trafficking. We provide clients with free legal services regardless of their age, sex, gender identity, abilities and equity needs, nationality or type of trafficking. We emphasize a holistic approach that empowers survivors to seek justice on their own terms. Justice At Last is a mobile practice - we meet our clients where they already receive trusted services. This relieves survivors from the need to provide their transportation or to visit a law office setting that might feel unwelcoming. We specialize in the areas of law identified by our clients and those with lived experience as being the most critical and the least available to survivors of trafficking. These include crime victims’ rights enforcement, criminal records clearance, and immigration relief. Our strategic interventions provide clients with a platform to be heard, the choice to define and seek their own justice, and an opportunity to change the trajectory of their lives.

While we have offices in Oakland, Redwood City, San Francisco, San Jose our practice is mobile and we travel to where the client is already receiving services to save them time, money and to ensure they are in a space that feels safe and comfortable.
