Job Description

About Los Angeles LGBT Center

The Los Angeles LGBT Center is the world’s largest LGBT organization of any kind. In 10 locations across Los Angeles, the Center’s nearly 800 employees and hundreds of volunteers offer programs, services, and global advocacy that span four broad categories: Health, Social Services and Housing, Culture and Education, and Leadership and Advocacy. The Center is an unstoppable force in the fight against bigotry and the struggle to build a better world.

The Center’s flagship Anita May Rosenstein Campus in the heart of Hollywood offers housing, legal, social, cultural, and educational services, with unique programs for seniors, families, youth, and the transgender community. Youth services include emergency, transitional, and independent housing, a drop-in center, and comprehensive education and employment programs. Senior services include more than 200 affordable apartments, food assistance, employment support, educational and recreational programming, and outreach.  

A Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) since 2013, the Center’s healthcare services include one of the first medical programs for people living with HIV and AIDS; HIV and STI testing; a full range of PrEP and PEP services; as well as HIV education, prevention, and outreach programs. The Center also provides comprehensive healthcare to the transgender community, gynecological and pelvic care, fertility, hormone balancing, and well-woman care. Additionally, the Center operates a full-service pharmacy.

The Center fights to advance civil rights and freedoms for LGBTQ people domestically and internationally through education, advocacy, and community organizing. They advocate for policies and funding that advance the health and wellness of the diverse LGBTQ community. To build a stronger LGBTQ community, they provide leadership development programs for activists and technical assistance for LGBTQ organizations everywhere.

A team of staff and volunteer attorneys, law students, and paralegals serve the legal needs of LGBTQ people with a special focus on survivors of violence, undocumented immigrants, the transgender community, and youth. They also provide cultural competency trainings and workshops for institutions and other providers.

 

A full slate of cultural and educational programming is offered at The Village at Ed Gould Plaza. The facility includes a 200-seat theater, a smaller black-box theater, an art gallery, and rooms for meetings and classes.

 

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Center continued to provide essential first-responder services where possible, shifted programs to virtual, and developed new programs such as the Pride Pantry food bank. Last year, in response to the nationwide MPX (monkeypox) crisis, the Center led vaccination and testing efforts in Los Angeles and collaborated with local and national organizations for increased state and federal funding to combat the public health emergency.

For more than 30 years, the Center operated almost entirely on the generosity of community volunteers who offered assistance to those in need and a place to find community. Over the last decade, the Center developed more robust programs and services to meet those needs, hired professional staff, and engaged significant public and private funding to support the community.

Now, the Sacramento LGBT Community Center has become one of the region’s largest nonprofits, reaching more LGBTQ+ people than any organization in Northern California. Operating in four locations, the Center provides programs and services spanning three broad categories: Health and Wellness, Advocacy, and Community Building.  

Health and wellness services include HIV/STD Testing and Prevention, PrEP Navigation, Counseling Services, Sexual Health Education, Gender Affirming Care Services, Harm Reduction, Medication Assisted Treatment navigation (MAT), Support Groups, and more. 

The Center’s Q-Spot Youth Program offers a brave space for youth ages 13-24 to receive social and emotional support through mental health respite, peer mentorship, and support groups. The Q-Spot also offers life skills workshops, youth-centered advocacy, and events such as Q-Prom.

The Center’s housing services include homelessness prevention, a 14-bed Short-term Transitional Emergency Program (STEP) 90-day low-barrier youth shelter, and a six-bed Transitional Living Program (TLP) where clients can stay for up to 24 months as they prepare for independent self-reliant living, and transition to more permanent housing. Both programs serve 18–24-year-old youth and include case management, housing, meals, clothing, transportation assistance, and access to wrap-around services including counseling, education and employment assistance, life skills workshops, and the establishment of a support system that can be maintained upon exiting the program.

In addition to providing a safe haven, the Center serves as an advocate for equity and social justice. Advocacy programs include legal aid through community partnerships, support services for community members who have been victims of bias or hate-related incidents, an outreach and training institute, Queer Voices (a performance-based ensemble), and public policy and community organizing.   

The Center is host to various community-building initiatives including the annual Sacramento Pride Festival & March, Q-Prom (a fun-filled evening for LGBTQ+ youth and allies), and Mama’s Makin’ Bacon Drag Brunch (the largest drag brunch extravaganza in Sacramento), Chosen Family Feast (a shared community meal on Thanksgiving), World Aids Day, and dozens of others throughout the year.

The mission of The Center is to enhance and sustain the health and well-being of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, transgender, nonbinary, immigrant, and HIV communities for the betterment of our entire San Diego region. Our vision is to create a Center and Center culture where every person feels and knows that they are welcomed, valued, and supported.

Background

A core value of The Center is that the health and wellness of our community cannot thrive without strong advocacy and community power.

GLAD Staff Attorney

Boston, Massachusetts

Is remote? Yes


GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders (GLAD)
Boston, MA

Website: http://www.glad.org

Posted: November 21, 2023

Contact Information

Name: Keisha Pierce

Link to posting: https://careers.positivelypartners.org/jobs/337912...

Job Description

The Opportunity

Since 1978, GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders (GLAD) has achieved scores of precedent-setting legal victories to end discrimination based on gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, and HIV status. Time after time, GLAD has broken through resistance and prejudice to make real progress for transgender rights, family protections and marriage equality, LGBTQ+ youth rights, protections for people living with HIV and much more. GLAD is focused on working at the cutting edge of LGBTQ+ rights, advancing strategies to address discrimination occurring at the intersections of race and LGBTQ+ status, and keeping a close watch on a counter-movement that is fighting hard to roll back critical progress.

We are at a critical moment in our efforts for LGBTQ+ justice, racial justice, and lived equality. The rights of LGBTQ+ people, and transgender individuals in particular, are under attack, as evidenced by the over 500 anti-LGBTQ bills filed in 45 state legislatures this year and efforts by opponents to expand religious exemptions to LGBTQ+ nondiscrimination protections through a conservative-leaning federal judiciary. 

To deepen and expand our legal and advocacy work into our next chapter, GLAD seeks a staff attorney to engage in GLAD’s cutting-edge impact litigation, public policy advocacy, and education. The Staff Attorney will work independently and collaboratively within a team made up of some of the most experienced LGBTQ+ advocates in the movement, and will have the opportunity to be mentored and grow into the next generation of legal advocates and leaders for the LGBTQ+ community. 

 

About the Role

GLAD seeks an attorney with a minimum of 3-7 years of litigation, legal research and writing, and/or policy experience, who has a passion for LGBTQ+ and/or HIV work as well as all related social justice issues that impact the LGBTQ+ community, including racial justice. Reporting to one of the senior directors in the department and working in collaboration with the legal team, the Staff Attorney will handle an active workload of litigation, legislation, and policy issues to advance GLAD’s organizational priorities. 

This position presents an opportunity for an emerging legal leader to learn from GLAD’s experienced and intergenerational legal team, helping create and implement strategies using legislation, litigation, policy, and public education to advance justice on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and HIV status, and exemplify commitment to racial justice. 

The Staff Attorney works collaboratively with the Legal Department and other GLAD staff to: 

  • Contribute to the legal department's decision-making strategy, help identify and assess matters for impact litigation, and file cases in state and federal court and other disputes. 
  • Serve on litigation teams, including being involved in case and client development, legal research, pleadings and briefs drafting, discovery and motion practice, hearings, trials, and appeals. 
  • Support amicus curiae efforts through brief writing and coordination. 
  • Provide technical expertise and support to private litigators and organizations facing complex LGBTQ issues in state and federal courts and government agencies. 
  • Monitor and selectively engage in legal policy and legislative affairs and developments, both in federal law and with respect to the laws and governments of the New England states and nationally, through consultation and collaboration, legal research and drafting, identifying stakeholders and experts, lobbying, and public education. 
  • Provide support for GLAD Answers, GLAD’s legal information and referral service, including by working up legal intakes and providing individual support or legal referrals, where appropriate, to people who seek legal help. 
  • Engage in select legal, community, and stakeholder presentations, events, forums, including information sharing and developing and representing GLAD positions to the media and the public.
  • Center organizational values, including anti-racism, equity, inclusion, and mutual respect in all work.

 

Qualifications

  • J.D. degree and admission to practice law in at least one state in the United States. If not licensed in a New England state, the candidate may also be required to seek admission to a New England state within one year of hire. 
  • Minimum of 3-7 years of litigation, legal research and writing, and/or policy experience who has a passion for LGBTQ+ and/or HIV work as well as all related social justice issues that impact the LGBTQ+ community, including racial justice.
  • Strong legal research, analysis, writing, and oral communication skills. 
  • Previous litigation experience including motion practice, trial practice and/or appeals.
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills in context of client and client development, all aspects of litigation, lobbying or advocacy with government officials, and public persuasion. 
  • Understanding of and commitment to the ways that all forms of discrimination, including racial discrimination, impacts the LGBTQ community and informs our strategies and priorities. 
  • Ability to build mutually respectful and collaborative partnerships with other marginalized communities including communities of color. 
  • Potential for growth and development in skills and expertise as an attorney over time. 
  • Demonstrated ability to work across departments and teams, both internally and externally with diverse stakeholders.
  • Independence, as well as the ability to work as part of an integrated team.

Other helpful qualifications include: 

  • Knowledge of LGBTQ+ law and/or policy, anti-discrimination, health care, education, family, and/or constitutional law. 

 

Compensation

This is a full-time, exempt position with a competitive salary range of $90,000-$120,000 for attorneys 3-5 years out of law school and $100,000-$135,000 for attorneys 6-10 years out of law school. GLAD provides excellent benefits including three weeks of paid vacation, fully paid individual health and dental insurance, and disability insurance.

 

Location

This is a national remote-eligible position with the expectation of regular travel every other month to GLAD’s office in Boston. 

 

45 Years of Groundbreaking Work

GLAD has been changing history since our founding in 1978. GLAD argued the Supreme Court case that established people living with HIV are protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act. GLAD lawyers broke ground on some of the movement’s earliest transgender rights victories, including winning the first appeals court decision to affirm that discrimination based upon transgender identity is prohibited under sex discrimination laws as well as landmark rulings in areas including gender affirming medical care and transgender students’ educational access. GLAD’s decades-long leadership in the marriage equality movement culminated in arguing for and winning the freedom to marry nationally at the U.S. Supreme Court in 2015. 

Now in its fifth decade, GLAD is well positioned to leverage its substantial experience and track record of strategic victories to address systemic discrimination, push back against efforts to reverse progress, and expand access to equity and justice for the entire community.

 

GLAD’s Mission, Structure and Values
Through strategic litigation, legislation, public policy advocacy, and education, GLAD works in New England and nationally to create a just society free of discrimination based on gender identity and expression, HIV status, and sexual orientation. 

Headquartered in Boston, MA and governed by a Board of Directors, GLAD operates with a $4+ million annual budget and 30+ staff and interns. 

GLAD operates with a commitment to the following organizational values: Justice and Lived Equality; Inclusion, Equity, and Mutual Respect; Anti-Racism; and Collaboration.

Visit www.GLAD.org to learn more about our work, history, staff, board and values.  

 

Justice for All 

GLAD’s newly adopted strategic plan endeavors to deepen our national leadership and impact, expand our legal capacity, protect a multiracial, pluralistic democracy, and sustain an antiracist and intergenerational movement for the long term.

 

Our Commitment to Racial Justice

GLAD is focused on ensuring that our legal strategies to advance LGBTQ+ equity and equality acknowledge intersecting oppressions and advance interlocking social movements, particularly movements for racial justice. 

GLAD’s work focuses on both harm reduction within systems that disproportionately target and harm LGBTQ+ people of color as well as the imperative to reform, dismantle and create alternatives to the systems themselves. LGBTQ+ youth of color are over-disciplined in school, disproportionately targeted by police, and disproportionately represented in the child welfare and juvenile justice systems. LGBTQ+ adults of color are disproportionately represented and face exceptionally brutal treatment in our systems of incarceration. The HIV epidemic continues to disproportionately harm communities of color, especially gay men of color, who lack the same access to life-saving prophylactic medications such as PrEP.  

GLAD challenges discriminatory systems, policies and practices; engages in intentional, sustained partnerships with LGBTQ communities of color; and works to build and maintain coalitions with allied social justice movements. We pay equal attention to our organizational culture, practices, and staff and board composition to ensure that they reflect these values.

About The Center

Since our founding in 1983, The LGBT Community Center (The Center) has been a place of hope and a refuge for the LGBTQ+ community in New York. We are today - as we were then - a place of safety, connection, activism, and joy.

As we celebrate our 40th Anniversary, the time is right to reflect on the past and share our vision for the next 40 years, supported by new thinking around what “community” means in these times. Recent years have shaped us in ways that have spurred a profound commitment- in theory and practice- to racial, economic, and gender equity. We have a renewed sense of purpose to center the perspectives and needs of Black people, Indigenous people, and People of Color (BIPOC), as well as transgender and gender expansive (TGE) communities.  Our new core values will guide the direction we take today and, in the years to come, committing us to the following: advocating for racial, gender, and economic justice using an intersectional lens, taking a community-driven approach, elevating collaboration, and fostering healing and joy.

At 40, we look back with pride for all we’ve accomplished and made possible, but also with humility in acknowledgment of the mistakes we’ve made along the way. There is still so much more to do together as we continue to build a future where our entire community shines.

The last few years have challenged how people access services, interact with each other and engage with their communities. We are plugged in digitally at a higher speed and scale, and yet isolation and threats to our community have never been more acute.

The fact is, even with virtual options, we know that the community centers movement is growing and thriving. There are 300 LGBTQ+ community centers in the country, and that number continues to climb. A staggering one in five LGBTQ+ people regularly use services at their local community center.  A source of healing, joy, and communal power, LGBT Centers are more vital and valuable than ever. We believe in the enduring power of this treasured space and the role it will play in years to come.

Job Description

About the Montrose Center

The Montrose Center, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit community center and mental health organization that empowers its community—primarily lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) individuals and their families—to live healthier, more fulfilling lives. The organization, its dedicated staff, volunteers, and supporters strive to create a welcoming environment where everyone is celebrated for who they are.

 

Situation

In December, the incumbent Executive Director will retire after thirty-five years leading the Montrose Center. The Board of Directors has initiated this search for a Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to lead the organization into the future. This leadership transition is expected to be a turning point for an organization with tremendous potential for further growth and expansion of services to impact the LGBTQ+ community throughout Houston and beyond.

The incoming CEO will have the opportunity to significantly affect the Montrose Center's future direction. In 2024, the Montrose Center will update its strategic plan to reflect evolving needs in the community and region, ensuring its ability to most effectively leverage its resources, capacity, and partnerships to deliver the greatest impact and best fulfill its mission.

To lead this effort, the incoming CEO is expected to bring a vision for advancing equity with respect to Houston's LGBTQ+ community. This new CEO will have the experience and skills to communicate that vision, gain the trust of the Board, staff, and community stakeholders, and develop and execute the strategic plan.

Never have the priorities of the Montrose Center and the needs of its clients and communities been better aligned. As a result, the Montrose Center is uniquely positioned to continue offering its critical mental health, outreach, recovery, and inclusion programs throughout these communities. This is well understood and articulated by a Board of Directors eager to embrace and support a new leader intent on fostering innovation, inspiring and driving change, maintaining operational excellence, and strengthening capabilities and effectiveness while being a respected collaborator within the community.

Success for the CEO will be predicated on their willingness to be hands-on, close to the work and the issues, and understand and be accountable for outcomes as they affect each and every client, family, and organizational stakeholder of the Center.

 

Position Summary

The Montrose Center seeks a Chief Executive Officer to lead the organization, succeeding its long-time Executive Director, Dr. Ann Robison. The CEO is responsible for all financial, operational, administrative, and legal/compliance aspects of the daily organizational management of the agency, including but not limited to public relations, financial management, fundraising, organizational development, and staffing. This executive leader liaises with national, state, regional, and local organizations and coordinates the contributions of diverse groups of trustees, donors, staff, volunteers, and community groups. The Chief Executive Officer works under authority granted by the Board of Directors to assist in defining priorities to build and develop teamwork between the agency and community volunteer leaders, to implement the Board's Strategic Plan, and to ensure programmatic and fiscal accountability.

 

Leadership Profile

The Montrose Center's ideal CEO is a dynamic, charismatic, mission-driven executive leader, a proven fundraiser, and a seasoned people manager. They are inspiring, authentic, and diplomatic; financially and operationally savvy; experienced in managing and overseeing complex programs, including those funded by federal, state, and local government grants.

They possess a well-developed executive presence and an ability to externally represent the Montrose Center confidently, skillfully, and strategically, elevating the organization's profile throughout its various communities of current and prospective funders, clients, and partner organizations.

They have the humility and curiosity first to observe and learn the vastness of its programs and services, recognizing the strength and effectiveness of the professionals leading those various departments and programs. They are resilient in the face of challenges, ambiguity, and adversity; they are adaptable and decisive.

The next CEO is a systemic thinker and problem-solver who exercises irreproachable integrity and judgment when addressing organization-level challenges and opportunities. They are a transformative thinker; a compelling, long-term visionary who inspires, motivates, and empowers those in their charge.

With experience managing and navigating large-scale change and complex leadership transitions, the new CEO will usher the Montrose Center into its next 35 years of impact and delivery of life-saving care and treatment for the most vulnerable among us.

About Pride Foundation:

Pride Foundation fuels transformational movements to advance equity and justice for LGBTQ+ people in all communities across the Northwest. We envision a world in which all LGBTQ+ people live safely and openly as our whole selves in the communities we call home.

Pride Foundation is the only community foundation by and for LGBTQ+ people and communities serving the Northwest region of Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington. Founded in 1985 during the height of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, Pride Foundation is the result of generations of leaders who brought simple but revolutionary values to our movement: the courage to truly see one another, the compassion to recognize our shared humanity, and the conviction to show up every day to protect one another. Pride Foundation has an operating budget of more than $6 million with 16 full time employees working from across the region we serve. Pride Foundation is governed by a Board of Directors with 17 members from across the five-state region with diverse professional and lived experiences.

As an organization and as individuals, we are committed to anti-racism, and strive to center racial equity and justice throughout our organization and all aspects of our programmatic work. Together, we are intentionally and actively building an internal culture that reflects this commitment, and an organization where our team members can thrive. All team members are a part of this work and are active participants in building our culture. Read more about the work culture we are building here and our 4 day work weeks here

About the Department of Community Advocacy, Research, and Education (CARE):

The Department of Community Advocacy, Research and Education is Pride Foundation’s newest department, developed to meet the evolving needs of the Pacific Northwest while deploying philanthropic tools for social transformation. While Pride Foundation’s grants and scholarships support the brilliant and dedicated organizations and leaders working to meet the needs of our communities, our CARE work takes a broader focus to transform culture in communities across the Northwest to make this vision a reality.

Since 2016, the work that has evolved to become the Department of CARE and has unapologetically centered BIPOC Trans, Nonbinary, Intersex, and Two-Spirit ancestral knowledge and lives. The ultimate goal of our CARE work is to create a Northwest region that is inhospitable to homophobia, transphobia, racism, misogyny, and all other forms of harm directed at LGBTQ+ communities. As a Department, CARE houses particular initiatives, programs, and projects. As of 2023, the primary program is the TRANSform Culture Program, with emergent programs around safety/wellness and trans-regional coalition-building in development.

 

About the Role:

Pride Foundation seeks a deeply embedded community leader and an experienced facilitator to help grow and sustain our Department of CARE. The CARE Senior Manager will bring an understanding of research and data justice frameworks, and commitment to centering community members as leaders and decision-makers, and an understanding of the intertwined relationship between community, power-building, policy, and research. The CARE Senior Manager also brings a strong, intersectional, racial, and gender justice analysis to this work. This includes understanding the difference between mobilizing and organizing in community work.
