Overview

The Ohio Access to Justice Foundation (Foundation) is a nonprofit foundation committed to ensuring that Ohioans who are low-income or who lack access can fully and fairly participate in civil systems that produce just outcomes. To achieve this, the Foundation promotes access to justice, funds civil legal aid, expands legal capacity, fosters innovation, and collaborates with partners to achieve systemic change.

We seek a mission-driven candidate to support grant-funded projects aimed at improving the quality of legal representation for children, parents, and kinship care providers involved in the child welfare system.
