Job description
The goal of Combined Campaign for Justice is to help bridge the justice gap in Delaware and ensure civil legal aid is available to poor and vulnerable people when it matters most. Unlike in the criminal justice system, there is no constitutional right to counsel in civil cases. Most low-income people who face pressing civil legal problems must navigate the legal system alone. CCJ works with organizations to provide free legal services to Delaware’s most vulnerable residents - people who are poor, people with disabilities, and people over the age of sixty (among others). There is a significant justice gap in the United States—and in Delaware—more than ninety percent of the civil legal needs of poor people are going unmet. With help from VISTA service in spreading the message of its services, CCJ will expand it's reach to individuals in need.



Member Duties : In partnership with Combined Campaign for Justice's senior staff, educate the community about the services CCJ provides to individuals with legal problems to help them avoid situations that may put them in financial, social, criminal justice jeopardy. VISTA will work with Senior Staff to craft messages for social media and for local churches and libraries to share resources available through CCJ and its partners. VISTA will learn the procedures for obtaining assistance and help direct clients to appropriate resources.
