About the volunteering opportunity
We are looking for a labor attorney to advise us on opening a new branch of our non-profit, Respond Crisis Translation, in Germany.
Currently, we are a US-based 501c3 nonprofit supporting the work of over 600 partner nonprofits, over 100 of which are based in the EU. We are a young and scrappy organization with a vast reach, and we want to establish a branch in Germany both to better be able to serve migrants, refugees and the organizations supporting them across Europe, as well as to be able to receive funding within the EU to provide dignified wages to the folks supporting our work.
