The Mitchell Hamline Minnesota Justice Foundation student organization is looking to fill a few positions on our executive board for the 2021-2022 academic year! The primary goal of our student organization is to raise money for our Public Interest Law Fellowship (PILF) program which provides stipends to Mitchell Hamline law students working in unpaid positions with a non-profit or government agency. We also work to spread awareness about public interest law and volunteer opportunities.
For the 2021-2022 year, we are recruiting:
- PILF Chair – our PILF chair organizes our annual PILF silent auction by assigning donation requests to other board members, keeping track of auction items and donations, and monitoring our auction website during the auction.
- LRAP Chair – our Loan Repayment Assistance Program (LRAP) chair attends quarterly MN LRAP meetings and reports back to the board on current events and happenings. The LRAP Chair is also responsible for distributing information to students about the Loan Repayment Assistance Program by tabling with pamphlets or hosting an info session.
- State Board Representative – our State Board Reps work as a liaison between the student organization and MJF’s statewide board. They attend state board meetings and communicate important information back and forth. This position is great for a rising 2L interested in non-profit governance, and plans to stay on the board for two years in order to build those connections and promote consistency.
All executive board positions are required to attend our monthly executive board meetings and may be asked to serve on other committees throughout the year. If you are interested in any of these positions, or general membership (below), please FILL OUT THIS INTEREST SURVEY and we will reach out to you.
NEW in 2021-2022 – we are opening our student organization to general members! General members are not required to attend executive board meetings, but are encouraged to attend our general member meetings and MJF events throughout the year. All general members will be placed on our emailing list and will receive a monthly newsletter about upcoming events and announcements. 🙂
