Her Justice connects women and gender diverse New Yorkers living in poverty with free legal help in family, matrimonial, immigration, and coerced debt matters.
Behind that work is a collaborative team of attorneys, social workers, policy experts, communicators, fundraisers, and operations professionals. Together, we foster a people-centered work culture grounded in respect, equity, and care.
“At Her Justice, the staff bring a profound level of expertise and care to their work.”

Who we hire
Great work takes many kinds of expertise. That’s why our team includes thoughtful, mission-driven people across legal, policy, development, communications, finance, and operations — all working toward the same goal. Across every team, these are the qualities we look for.
We hire for Collaboration
We believe the best solutions come from partnership. We value people who build trust, communicate openly, and work across teams to achieve shared goals.
We hire for Ownership
We look for people who take initiative, assume responsibility for outcomes, and continuously seek ways to improve their work rather than waiting to be directed.
We hire for Growth
We seek professionals who are curious, adaptable, and committed to learning. We recognize that strong performers evolve alongside the organization and embrace change as an opportunity to improve.
We hire for Impact
We hire individuals who understand the connection between their work and the experiences of the clients, volunteers, colleagues, and communities we serve, and who are motivated by creating meaningful, lasting impact.
