    Job Description

    Job Description

    Esperanza Immigrant Rights Project, a program of Catholic Charities of Los Angeles, Inc., is a non-profit law firm which provides community education and legal representation to immigrant adults, families, unaccompanied minors, individuals with mental health issues, and in cases involving crimmigration. Esperanza has proudly provided legal services to immigrants and their families in Southern California for over 15 years. The immigration court system does not provide court-appointed counsel to individuals facing deportation who cannot afford an attorney, so this vulnerable population relies on our community education programs to obtain critical information about the process, understand their legal options and access assistance. Esperanza's community education programs were established to more effectively meet this need and to guide pro se immigrants through the increasingly complicated and strained immigration system. Core services of the programs include legal orientations regarding removal proceedings and legal relief; intake and follow-up services; self-help workshops; and referrals for pro bono assistance or social services. More information can be found about Esperanza at www.esperanza-

    Responsibilities:

    The Community Education Manager ("CE manager") will oversee the Legal Orientation Program for Custodians (LOPC) and Call Center West. These programs are responsible for providing immigration education to unrepresented unaccompanied minors in removal proceedings. The CE manager will be responsible for day-to-day program operations. This includes scheduling team members to conduct program services including presentations, individual screenings and support, clinics, and other legal services as needed. The CE Manager will oversee data collection practices and reporting and participate in stakeholder relations, communications and attend high-level stakeholder meetings. The CE Manager will ensure that all materials used in their respective programs are up to date, approved for use, and up to organization-wide standards and industry best practices.

The CE manager will assign and delate duties as needed and conduct regular one-on-one meetings with direct reports. The CE Manager will conduct direct services as needed and subject to capacity.
