Tahirih Justice Center - Bahá’í Service Fellowship
August 2008 – August 2009/10
The Tahirih Justice Center is currently accepting applications from Bahá’ís interested in serving for the duration of a year to two years as the Tahirih Justice Center’s 2008 – 2009/10 Bahá’í Service Fellow. This is a full-time fellowship, offered to one or two individuals annually. The fellowship was created to enable the recipient to engage in service and learn from the work of a renowned Bahá’í-inspired non-profit organization whilst also dedicating time during the year to a personal plan of spiritual development and deepening.
The Fellow(s) will work most closely with the Legal Department and take on the role of a paralegal. This is a service position and is unpaid. Medical insurance and a small stipend ($1000/month) to help cover personal expenses will be provided. We will also assist in finding a local Bahá’í host family to provide room and partial board for the duration of the year.
Basic qualifications: Undergraduate degree, strong writing and communication skills, foreign language proficiency, informed interest in international women’s rights, experience living abroad or working with immigrant communities.
For more information and application materials, e-mail: Negin Avaregan at negin@tahirih.org. Deadline: April 1st, 2008.
The Tahirih Justice Center is a Bahá’í-inspired 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that seeks to enable women and girls who face gender-based violence to access justice, with a particular emphasis on immigrant women. The Tahirih Justice Center engages in pro bono legal representation, social services referrals and advocacy in cases that champion the rights of women and protect them from international human rights abuses. Our legal advocacy includes both direct service to individual women and larger efforts to transform policies, develop regulations, and set precedent so that systemic change will ensure the long-term protection of women from violence. The Center is founded on the belief that the achievement of equality between women and men is necessary if society is to progress and is inspired by the principles of the Bahá’í Faith.
“And the honor and distinction of the individual consists in this, that he among all the world's multitudes should become a source of social good. Is a larger bounty conceivable than this, that an individual, looking within himself, should find that by the confirming grace of God, he has become the cause of peace and well-being, of happiness and advantage to his fellow men? No, by the one true God, there is no greater bliss, no more complete delight.”
