Bias Response and Sanctuary Promise Volunteer and Intern Program (Unpaid)

Job Description:

The Oregon Department of Justice (DOJ) Civil Rights Unit Bias Response Program and Sanctuary Promise Program is building its Volunteer and Intern Program. We are seeking community members and students to help in our work to Stand Against Hate and ensure the safety dignity and human rights of all Oregonians. Volunteers and interns receive extensive training in antibias victim advocacy and sanctuary law obtain Oregon DOJ certification as a Certified Bias Response Advocate upon completion of the program strengthen our Oregon community to reflect belonging and inclusivity and gain incredible experience working alongside our staff in the Oregon DOJ Civil Rights Unit.

We are especially looking for summer 202 undergraduate and graduate school student interns.

Volunteer and Intern Roles

Our general qualifications require volunteers and interns to be 18 years of age or older. However the Civil Rights Unit is open to volunteers or interns age 17 after a thorough vetting process including speaking to a parent/guardian. 17yearold minor volunteers/interns will have limited direct victim contact.

Whats the Difference Between a Volunteer and Intern

The Civil Rights Unit Internship is designed to provide advocacy experience to postsecondary students interested in supporting bias victims and developing systems and programs to end hate. Students can earn academic credit from their academic institution or fulfill class internship requirements by successfully completing a Civil Rights Unit internship. During the school year we require a minimum twoterm (semester or quarter system) commitment where interns work at least 15 hours per week. Summer interns commit to a full summer at 40 hours per week. This is an unpaid internship which does not provide compensation for the services you perform.

Volunteers in the Civil Rights Unit can be college or graduate students or community members who are interested in supporting bias victims and developing systems to end hate. Often volunteers work from their home community in Oregon and accept referrals of victims who are local to provide ongoing support advocacy and systems navigation. Volunteers can also staff the Bias Response Hotline. We require a minimum oneyear commitment generally one shift per week but we do not specify/require a mandatory number of hours per week. Volunteering with the Civil Rights Unit builds a great connection between you and your community. This is an unpaid volunteer opportunity. As a volunteer you are not eligible to be compensated for the services you perform.

We are happy to provide references upon successful completion of the Civil Rights Unit Volunteer and Intern Program. And if you have questions youd like answered before applying feel free to reach out to our Volunteer and Intern Coordinator.
