The East Bay Community Law Center (EBCLC) is one of the Bay Area’s largest and most effective systems disrupters. We are committed to providing impactful, holistic legal services, policy work, and litigation strategies across five program areas: Housing, Economic Security & Opportunity, Immigration, Health & Welfare, and Education Defense & Justice for Youth. We partner with Berkeley Law School to reject the legal status quo and to reimagine justice for our clients. To learn more about EBCLC, please visit our website .
EBCLC recognizes that the explicit racialized language being used by those at the highest levels of the U.S. government has a direct impact on people at the intersection of multiple oppressions. Thus, we have deepened our commitment to advance real security, equity, and belonging through schools that allow children to feel safe and thrive, meaningful work opportunities, and relief from displacement, deportation, poverty, and debt. EBCLC strives to create a workplace that values dignity and equity for staff, students, and community partners.
It is an exciting time to join EBCLC. We recently celebrated 30 years of movement building, policy advocacy, and legal education. We see cities and communities across the country adopt policies launched by EBCLC. These policies include the elimination of criminal fees and fines, the protection of constitutional rights of unhoused people, and the implementation of ordinances providing tenants the first offer and right of refusal of property they live in before it goes on the market. And now, with the devastating impact of COVID-19 on the communities EBCLC serves and the momentum created by the Movement for Black Lives, EBCLC is uniquely positioned to lead critically important systems change work. With the leadership of our new Executive Director, Zoë Polk, we are energized to embrace this moment as a Black-woman-led organization under the vision and leadership of an all-women-of-color executive team. Along with our talented staff, dedicated Board of Directors, and highly-engaged community partners, we have launched a strategy for holistic recovery that will create real justice and are seizing this opportunity to build new structures, launch new approaches, and find new investments in this work.
We are seeking a Director of Development & Communications who is invested in systems change and would be energized to serve as a thought partner to the Executive Director and our EBCLC team as we work together to create the organizational vision and planning for EBCLC’s next chapter during a time of such tremendous possibility and potential.
EBCLC seeks a Director of Development & Communications with skills and expertise to lead the development and implementation of a multi-faceted resource development plan.

To better understand EBCLC and how it’s supported by generous philanthropists and other critical partners in our work, please see our most recent annual report here .
The Director of Development & Communications is a relationship- and capacity-builder with staff and funders and provides strategic advice to the organization’s leadership.
