Legal Training Online Course Developer (Independent Contractor)
About the position The American Immigration Council works to strengthen America by shaping how America thinks about and acts towards immigrants and immigration and by working toward a more fair and just immigration system that opens its doors to those in need of protection and unleashes the energy and skills that immigrants bring. The Council brings together individuals adept at solving problems and employs four coordinated approaches to advance change—litigation, research, legislative and administrative advocacy, and communications. The Immigration Justice Campaign's mission is to increase free legal services for immigrants navigating our complicated immigration system and leverage the voices and experiences of those most directly impacted by our country's immigration policies to inform legal and advocacy strategies. This project will involve the creation of an asynchronous, online training course for attorneys to equip them to effectively represent clients in their immigration legal cases, with a focus on LGBTQ+ clients, clients in detention, and other especially vulnerable immigrant groups. The training course will contain several modules for different types of cases and competencies, and will feature assessments enabling the IJC team to track each volunteer's completion of various modules. The course will be publicly available via our website. The chosen approach to developing the project will enable the IJC team to update and create modules in-house beyond the life of the project.
