    Community outreach and education: Engage with farmworker communities to provide legal education,
    know-your-rights workshops, and direct legal assistance. Build partnerships with community-based
    organizations, labor unions, legal aid providers, law schools, private law firms, and other stakeholders to
    expand access to legal services and resources.
    Policy analysis and advocacy: Monitor legislative and regulatory developments affecting farmworker
    rights at local, state, and federal level. Analyze proposed policies and advocate for reforms to strengthen
    labor protections, improve occupational safety and health, and expand access to justice for farmworkers.
    Represent FJ on coalitions of immigrant advocates, labor advocates, and occupational safety and health
    and environmental justice advocates.
    Capacity building and training: Provide training and technical assistance to staff and community advocates
    on legal rights, procedures, and advocacy strategies. Lead the development of an online farmworker legal
    resource library to support farmworker legal services organizations and advocates. Develop resources and
    materials to support grassroots organizing, information-sharing, and legal empowerment in farmworker
    communities. Support the development of the biennial Farmworker Law Conference and general
    organizational activities as needed.
    Collaboration and coalition-building: Work collaboratively with legal services organizations, advocacy
    partners, government agencies, and other stakeholders to share resources and coordinate efforts to
    advance labor, occupational safety and health, and environmental justice in farmworker communities.
    Support FJ projects by providing policy and legal analysis on occupational safety and health, environmental
    justice, and health issues that impact farmworkers.
    Reporting and documentation: Maintain accurate records of legal cases and advocacy activities. Prepare
    regular reports on legal services provided, outcomes achieved, and impact on farmworker communities
    Travel: Attend in-person meetings and conferences in DC and other locations around the country, as
    necessary.

    EDUCATION/EXPERIENCE/REQUIREMENTS:
    Juris Doctor (JD) degree from an accredited law school, and active bar membership in a U.S. state or
    territory.
    1-3 years of litigation and policy experience, ideally in labor law, environmental justice, civil rights, or

    context of farmworker rights advocacy.
    Knowledge of farmworker labor and employment law, including wage and hour regulations, collective
    bargaining rights, workplace safety standards, and worker protections.
    Excellent communication, writing, and advocacy skills, with the ability to engage diverse stakeholders and
    build consensus for policy change.
    Experience working with marginalized communities, immigrant populations, and/or agricultural workers
    preferred.
    Professional proficiency in spoken and written Spanish preferred.
