The mission of Bread for the City is to help Washington, DC residents living with low income to develop the power to determine the future of their own communities.

Bread for the City Legal Clinic seeks to ensure better access to justice in our nation’s capital.

Our Immigration practice provides direct legal representation, brief legal services, and advice to DC residents with immigration-related issues.
Position Description:
Bread for the City is seeking a full-time supervising attorney with 5-7 years of post-JD experience for our Immigration practice. Specifically, we seek an attorney to work in our Immigrant Justice Project, where job responsibilities will center on: providing direct representation to clients in immigration matters; training and supervising project staff attorneys; training and mentoring pro bono attorneys; organizing community outreach and conducting legal intake; and managing grant applications and reports. Our Project focus is two-fold: one, we provide full representation to survivors of intimate partner and family violence in humanitarian-based immigration petitions, including VAWA self-petitions, T/U visa petitions, and SIJS petitions. Second, and in conjunction with our medical clinic and community partners, we provide brief services to immigrant residents who need assistance in obtaining or replacing identification documents, including Division of Motor Vehicle, country of origin and US-government identification, and employment authorization. Additionally, our practice has recently begun expanding into other areas of immigration law practice, including asylum and deportation defense, in response to the growing needs of our community.
