Launch and Training Coordinator

Mission: For over 25 years Administer Justice has stood in the gap to empower vulnerable neighbors with the help of a lawyer and the hope of God’s love through the home of the church. We exist to invite others to use their gifts to advance God’s kingdom of justice and righteousness. God’s heart beats for justice for the poor which is the second most prominent theme in the Bible. Because He cares, so do we. We demonstrate this by expanding access to Justice and Jesus. 1 in 3 Americans cannot afford an attorney. In a nation that pledges “liberty and justice for all”, that should not be. As Christ followers called to Administer true justice (Zechariah 7:9), that must not be. Together we can change that story. 

Vision: Our vision is to see 1,000 Gospel Justice Centers transforming lives in the name of Christ. Transformation takes place as a trained team of volunteers establish neighborhood Gospel Justice Centers. Each Center is distinctly biblical, holistic, team-based, neighborhood centered, dignity giving, self-sustaining and leads back to the local church. The team provides legal, social, and spiritual support through a Justice Champion (team leader), Community Advocate, Hospitality Specialist, Prayer Champion, Client Intake Specialist, Interpreter, Attorney, Client Advocate and Follow-Up Advocate. Our logo demonstrates many diverse hands coming together to shine the light of the Holy Spirit into the darkness of injustice. We multiply impact through volunteers using their gifts to do justice, love kindness and walk humbly with God (Micah 6:8). 

Values: No one does justice alone.  We believe that God is building a team at Administer Justice with people using their gifts to advance His kingdom through the pursuit of justice. We value everyone doing their P.A.R.T. (1 Corinthians 12:12) We are passionate, adaptive, result-oriented, team-players. We live these values through our work knowing that we serve the Lord Jesus Christ. We embrace the truth that “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.” Colossians 3:23. Our values drive us to measure and improve results. We perform with excellence because we know we will give an account. This drives us to work through three teams to engage, equip and ensure great outcomes. 

Your Role:  Your role is to coordinate Administer Justice’s center and volunteer onboarding and maintain up-to-date volunteer training and resources. You support, guide, and encourage Justice Champions in one-on-one and group settings as they work to bring their Gospel Justice Center from an idea to reality. You maintain and update the library of resources and training available to volunteers to ensure that they have what they need to serve.
