The Feerick Center for Social Justice (FC) works with law students, alumni, and a range of partners on social justice efforts. The FC is committed to recruiting and retaining a team from different cultures, races, educational backgrounds, life experiences, socio-economic classes, sexual orientations, ages, genders, and abilities, especially from groups that have historically been underrepresented in professional workplaces. Since 2008, FC has focused on economic justice-specifically, consumer debt issues for NYers with low income and little to no wealth. FC provides limited-scope legal services to unrepresented low-income NYers facing credit card debt collection through the Bronx, Manhattan, and Staten Island CLARO Programs. The clinics are court-based and staffed by attorney and student volunteers. With COVID, FC is building a permanent remote component. As the VISTA, you will be involved in rebuilding in-person, technology driven clinics and continuing to build Remote CLARO. You will help plan all aspects of clinics. This position is a part of an 7-member VISTA cadre at FC and 2 partner sites. The position is ideal for someone interested in careers in public interest law, public policy, urban studies, or economics. VISTAs serving at the Feerick Center must live within commuting distance (1.5 hrs) of Manhattan, NY before their service start date. This opportunity requires mandatory in-person service three (3) days per week. Required in-person days and times (potentially including some evening hours) may vary week to week based on programming. The other two (2) days can be in person or teleservice. This model is subject to change during the VISTA’s service term. The VISTA member also must comply with Fordham University's COVID requirements for staff, which includes mandatory vaccination and boosters. Fordham University requires all individuals on campus to be vaccinated and boosted, and may require additional boosters during your service term.
