VETERAN ADVOCACY PROJECT
Veteran Advocacy Project (VAP) seeks a candidate who is passionate about veterans and social justice to join our team as an advocate.
VAP provides free legal services to low-income veterans and their families, with a focus on those living with Post Traumatic Stress, Traumatic Brain Injury, and substance use issues. We are partnered with VA hospitals, health clinics, and local veterans’ groups to reach veterans where they are. While our attorneys tackle the legal challenges, our advocates ensure that our clients are connected to appropriate social services. VAP enables veterans to achieve the stability needed to regain their health & rebuild their lives.
As a new organization (we spun off from the Urban Justice Center a year ago), we are small but growing: we have launched a criminal practice, providing mitigation expertise on capital cases around the country, and we are expanding our justice-involved services, addressing problems that arise at the intersection of civil, criminal, and veterans law issues. Our homelessness prevention partnerships with social services agencies and our medical-legal partnerships are instrumental in our veterans law work, representing veterans on VA claims and discharge upgrade applications. The common thread throughout our advocacy is that we fight for individuals who are living with mental health challenges. Our services provide access to health care and benefits, prevent incarceration and reduce recidivism, keep veterans and their families in their homes, and empower
veterans by removing barriers to success.
The primary role for this position is to conduct intake, follow up with and connect clients to services, and be at the center of the organization’s workflow. In addition to intake and referrals, this position will involve investigation and development of cases. Advocacy will range from assisting a client in an administrative matter to working with attorneys developing case theory for upgrade applications.
The ideal candidate is a self-starter, enjoys independence, and is able to manage their time efficiently. Both intake and investigation require meticulous attention to detail; the ability to organize and analyze information; and clear communication skills. In addition, sensitivity is crucial in working with clients living with mental health conditions and the effects of trauma. As the first point of contact for the organization, the intake advocate often speaks with veterans who are in crisis. Training will be provided, but experience with trauma-informed practices is a plus.
Candidates must be able to commit to at least one full year in the position. Individuals with military service, prior experience working with veterans, those who are differently abled, women, and minorities are strongly encouraged to apply. No J.D. applicants please.
