With more than 90 employees, CCLS works to provide high quality, no-cost civil legal services to low-income individuals, families, and communities-improving the wellbeing of our Valley through systems-changing advocacy, client education, and legal work that meets individual clients' immediate needs. We also work closely with agencies and community organizations that share our commitment to support our clients in being their own agents of change.

JOB DESCRIPTION

Central California Legal Services ("CCLS") seeks a dynamic person to join its Pro Bono Program ("PBP") as Manager of CCLS' newly-launching Veterans' Legal Services Project ("VLSP"). Through the VLSP, CCLS serves the unique legal needs of low-income veterans, including whole-person legal services to prevent homelessness and targeting of female veterans.

The VLSP Manager will supervise two full-time VLSP staff - a VLSP Paralegal and a VLSP Outreach Coordinator. The VLSP will provide legal services through the VLSP staff, CCLS advocates, skilled volunteer attorneys, and other volunteer legal service providers.

The VLSP Manager will organize and operate the VLSP to provide legal services to veterans, conducting an individualized needs assessment and creating a case plan that connects the client with internal CCLS legal services, pro bono services, and external partners. In addition, the VLSP will form partnerships with community organizations such as Veterans' clinics, student veterans' offices at community colleges, Veterans' Stand Down and Stand Up organizers, and other organizations serving veteran populations. Through these partnerships, the VLSP will conduct outreach and clinic services.
