DC Volunteer Lawyers Project (DCVLP) was established in 2008 as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization. We engage, train and support hundreds of dedicated volunteer attorneys each year to handle emergency protection order, custody, child/spousal support, divorce, and immigration cases on behalf of victims, and to serve as court-appointed advocates for vulnerable children living with abuse, neglect, and other dangerous circumstances. We operate free call-in and walk- in clinics throughout the District of Columbia so victims and other D.C. residents can access free legal services on a wide variety of legal issues including family law, immigration, related criminal cases against abusers, and enforcing victim legal rights in housing, employment, and other financial matters; and non-legal support services including social services referrals, crisis support, and safety planning.

The salary range for this position is $45,000-$55,000. DCVLP also provides a tax-free technology stipend of $75 per month to full-time employees to go towards their personal cell phone and Wi-Fi expenses. DCVLP provides employees with 90% coverage of our major medical and dental policies and sponsors a 403(b) retirement plan (DCVLP matches up to 4% of employee 403(b) contributions after four months of employment). Vision coverage is also available. New employees accrue three weeks of vacation over 12 months and one week of sick time. In addition to all federal holidays, two personal days per year are also available as floating holidays. We offer a generous family leave policy for parents following the birth or adoption of a child or placement of a foster child. DCVLP has a positive work environment, with a focus on collaboration, empowerment, and service toward our clients and volunteers.
