Your Journey With Her Justice
Why Work With Us?
Are you passionate about advancing gender, racial, and economic justice? Do you believe in the power of legal advocacy to transform lives? Come work with us!
Her Justice stands with women and gender diverse people living in poverty in New York City by providing free legal help in family, matrimonial, and immigration law. We recruit and mentor pro bono attorneys to amplify our impact and increase access to justice for those who have been systematically excluded from it.
Since 1993, we’ve grown into a dynamic, mission-driven team of legal advocates, social workers, policy experts, and operational staff—all committed to building a more fair and functional civil justice system. We operate on a hybrid model with our office located in downtown Manhattan and foster a collaborative, people-centered work culture grounded in respect, equity, and care.

We also offer internships across legal, policy, development, and operations functions.
Who We Hire
We hire dedicated, mission-driven individuals who bring both skill and heart to their work. Our team includes attorneys, paralegals, social workers, policy advocates, development professionals, and operations experts—all contributing to our shared goal of advancing justice for women in New York City.
Her Justice is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer. We strongly encourage applications from people of color, women, immigrants, LGBTQ+ individuals, people with disabilities, and members of other historically underrepresented groups. We believe a diverse and inclusive team is essential to the success of our mission.
Her Justice does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability status, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law. We are committed to building a team that reflects the rich diversity of New York City and the clients we serve.
