Fellowships

Western Center welcomes applications from third year law students/law school graduates seeking Skadden, Equal Justice Works, school-based, or similar fellowships. We are looking for eligible fellowship applicants for a project that will focus on children and youth access to mental health services in California. More information about the project can be accessed here. For this fellowship project, a successful applicant can work out of our Los Angeles or Sacramento office.

Western Center strives for a diverse and inclusive workforce. We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer. Western Center strongly encourages people of color, women, LGBTQ individuals, persons with disabilities, and people from other underrepresented groups whose background may contribute to effectively representing people experiencing poverty and underserved communities to apply.

  • cover letter
