OPD's Parental Defense Division represents parents and guardians when the Department of Social Services (DSS) has removed, or plans to remove, their children and place them in state custody. OPD is seeking two (3) Parent Advocates (parents with lived experience with the family policing/child welfare system) to serve as members of the legal defense team alongside lawyers and social workers.�\r

\r
In addition to providing our clients with high-quality legal defense, the goals of the teams include keeping children out of foster care, shortening lengths of stay for children in foster care, promoting quality visiting arrangements, ensuring that families receive services that they feel they need to address the family's social needs, and providing out-of-court advocacy on behalf of the parents. We are seeking people who are eager and motivated to help other parents get through their ordeal with the foster system. These are grant-funded positions contingent on the renewal of matching grant funds.�\r
