We leverage the powerful resources of the community to provide quality volunteer legal services and ensure access to justice for low-income Philadelphians. Our team recruits, trains, and supports volunteer attorneys who provide free legal services.
VIP’s team is dedicated to its mission and enjoys an outstanding team atmosphere, generous employee benefits, and a diverse work environment. Ideal candidates are passionate about access to justice, committed to volunteerism, self-motivated, and resourceful.
I’m passionate about advocacy work, and VIP provides a unique opportunity that allows me to serve my community every day.
Reporting to the Program Manager and Director of Operations, the Case Management Administrator supports VIP’s legal program by processing and stewarding client and volunteer data; coordinating relations with clients, callers, and visitors; and using technology to provide proactive logistical support.
