JusticeCorps recruits 7 university graduates (and graduating seniors) annually to serve self-represented litigants in Alameda County (Hayward), San Francisco County (San Francisco), and San Mateo County (Redwood City & South San Francisco). Fellows do not have to be from one of our partnering universities. All fellows participate in an Orientation and begin their service in late August, as well as attend a program-wide Orientation and training when our part-time members start (usually a month later, in September). The responsibilities of our fellows may vary between the different counties where they are placed. But all fellows act as a leader for their site's part-time members and continue to assist litigants. Interested applicants will need to have graduated from an accredited university or be a graduating senior by August of the program start date. Fellows receive a $37,000 stipend dispersed biweekly, and a $10,000* education award. Fellows are also eligible to receive free health insurance and childcare benefits.

If you have any questions or are interested in learning more about our internship opportunities, please feel free to schedule a meeting with one of our Program Specialists or Campus Representatives during their office hours.

*Upon successful completion of their service, AmeriCorps members are eligible to receive a Segal AmeriCorps Education Award from the National Service Trust that they can use to pay for higher education expenses or apply to qualified student loans. In addition to receiving the federal Segal AmeriCorps Education Award, full-time members, including JusticeCorps Fellows, who complete a minimum of 1700 service hours will receive a California For All Education Award for a combined total value of $10,000. Both educational awards are considered taxable income. CFA Award is contingent upon final budget appropriation by the state of California.
