Job Description: Legal Counsel for Youth and Children (LCYC) seeks a passionate, collaborative, and innovative attorney committed to social justice and anti-racism, to provide direct representation for children and young
people up to 21 years old who are eligible for Special Immigrant Juvenile (SIJ) Classification. The attorney will file state court actions, represent the youth in state court, and work closely with immigration attorneys to secure orders for SIJ findings from the state court. Fluency in Spanish and experience with youth is highly valued.
LCYC is a growing, dynamic organization committed to responding to the needs of our clients and community, as well as the professional development of our staff. Applicants need to arrive at LCYC with
a commitment to continual learning. The attorney’s duties may shift over time, and the attorney may have opportunities to work on other teams and in other practice areas directly supporting youth. Applicants must be a member of the Washington State Bar Association or qualify for admission by motion from another state under Washington State Court rule APR 3(c)(1). LCYC is a virtual non- profit and the attorney will work from home and spend their time mostly virtually helping youth in multiple counties statewide. The location of this position is flexible; however, the attorney must be located in the state of Washington and travel will be expected to appear in person occasionally throughout the state. Additionally, the attorney will identify other non-SIJ legal and general non- legal issues that the youth may be facing and warmly handoff to the appropriate community partner.
