About WomensLaw.org
UPDATED October 7, 2009
Thank you for your interest in helping WomensLaw.org.
Please select one of the following:
I am fluent in Spanish and would like to help translate the site.
We want to help as many Spanish-speaking survivors of domestic violence as possible. If you're fluent in both Spanish and English, you can help! Portions of our site are currently translated into Spanish, but large portions are still not translated.
Spanish translation volunteers can work from our Brooklyn-based office or from home. You can volunteer to work on just one page, or on a continuing basis.
If you're interested, please email Nina@WomensLaw.org. We'll send you a volunteer application and set things up.
I am a law school student interested in an internship with WomensLaw.org.
Summer 2009
We will begin seeking law school interns for the summer in February 2009. Potential interns should be available to work from our Brooklyn, NY office for 35 hours per week. We will accept applications until May 1, 2009 or until all positions are filled.
Interns will assist our organization by conducting legal research and preparing and updating plain language legal guides for publication on the WomensLaw.org website. Topic areas include:
* State-specific restraining order information,
* Information on gun and firearm laws,
* Information on full faith and credit for restraining orders,
* State-specific custody information,
* State-specific divorce information, and
* Other legal areas affecting victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.
Applicants should have the following qualifications:
* Prior experience working with survivors of domestic violence or sexual assault or other women's issues is strongly preferred.
* Excellent writing, research, and analytical skills.
* Highly organized and self-motivated.
* Strong advocacy and outreach skills.
* Strong coordination and planning skills.
* Ability to multi-task and manage several projects at once, as well as assist with other organizational needs.
* Ability to work collaboratively as well as independently.
* Flexible, positive, and compassionate manner; able to handle sensitive situations.
* Basic computer skills required (MS Windows, Word, Internet)
* Knowledge of web publishing programs (Dreamweaver) is helpful, though not required.
To apply for a Summer 2009 internship with WomensLaw.org, please send a cover letter and resume to Stacey@womenslaw.org.
Internships with WomensLaw.org may qualify for credit or work study at some law schools. Individuals of color, members of the LGBT community, and people fluent in a language other than English are encouraged to apply.

I am interested in double-checking phone numbers for WomensLaw.org.

I would like to help WomensLaw.org by throwing a house party or other fundraising/awareness-raising event.
