About Root & Rebound:
Root & Rebound (R&R) is a national reentry advocacy nonprofit, whose mission is to help people navigate reentry and reduce the harms perpetuated by mass incarceration. Root & Rebound provides holistic reentry legal services across all of California, with offices in Fresno and Oakland, and staff in Los Angeles as well. We provide legal know-your-rights information, and individual services on a wide variety of collateral consequences of a conviction including getting ID and voting, conditions of parole and probation, and employment and housing rights as they relate to an arrest or conviction history.
Our Central Valley Program (serving Merced, Madera, Fresno, Tulare, Kings, & Kern Counties) is unique in pairing reentry legal services with in-house social services and employment coaching. The Central Valley team works closely together to ensure that the people in our program get consistent and compassionate holistic services to achieve their individual, self-identified goals.

Our ideal candidate is compassionate, personable, and team-oriented. This person is excited about advancing the rights of people with criminal records and expanding R&R’s services and impact across the Central Valley.
