Position Description: 

.

Georgia Legal Services Program (“GLSP”) seeks to host one (1) Fellow for the Fall 2026-2028
fellowship term. The Fellow will be based in Atlanta but will engage with communities and clients
outside of metro Atlanta. The Fellow will be sponsored by Equal Justice Works, Skadden, or other
fellowship set to begin in the fall of 2026.

The proposed Racial Justice Fellowship will focus on language rights and access.

A Language Rights Fellow will work with the Respecting Individuality and Supporting
Empowerment (RISE) Team and other GLSP attorneys to identify and challenge racial and
national origin discrimination against persons who are English Language Learners, also called
persons who are Limited English Proficient.

Requirements: 

The Fellow’s project will cover counties outside of metro Atlanta but will be located in GLSP’s downtown Atlanta office. The Fellow will develop new advocacy strategies to help ensure that English Language Learners have meaningful access to
courts and government services such as public benefits, health care, and housing. The Fellow will represent a limited number of clients on language rights issues. The Fellow will develop and provide GLSP advocates training and materials on language rights and racial and national origin protections under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, especially in light of recent developments in the legal landscape around language access. The Fellow will assist GLSP offices with outreach to communities with a significant number of English Language Learners by developing materials and relationships with other community partners serving these communities. The Fellow will build on GLSP’s record of successfully representing Georgians who have been denied meaningful access to courts and government services. A candidate for this fellowship
should be able to at least speak Spanish on an intermediate level.
