Volunteer at the EJC

Workers' Rights Clinics

We currently need Spanish speaking intake volunteers for our Workers' Rights Clinic that take place every Wednesday evening.

The clinic is a walk-in advice clinic for low-income workers.  Intake interviewers use a structured intake questionnaire developed by the EJC to interview workers about their workplace problem.  Experienced employment lawyers are on hand to supervise the intake interviewers and help them advise the workers.  No experience is necessary- we can use everyone!  We are asking that only people interested in making a commitment to volunteer at a clinic at least once a month become volunteers. 

Before you volunteer you will need to attend an observational clinic, fill out a volunteer information sheet and particpate in a volunteer training session.  We hold trainings about three times a year- the beginning of each school semester and the beginning of summer.  Please contact us for more information, give us a call at (202) 828-9675 x 32 or send an e-mail to justice@dcejc.org

The NW clinic is held just north of downtown Washington at Bread for the City - NW, 1525 7th Street NW.  It is accessible by car, metro or bus. The SE clinic is held at Bread for the City - SE, 1640 Good Hope Road SE.   It is accessible by car or bus.  Parking is plentiful and free in Bread for the City's parking lot or on the street.  Volunteers are always willing to drive you to the metro when the clinic is over and groups of volunteers buddy-up to walk to the metro when they are done.
