UPDATE TO THIS POST AS OF JULY 6, 2009: Due to the overwhelming response our team has received from around the country, we currently are not taking more Justice Advocates into the program. Thank you for your interest in this critical volunteer role - I will be sure to let you know when more positions open and in what region. We are so grateful for your willingness to serve with us!

This week our Seattle-area Justice Advocates met for training and fellowship. Here’s a little snap-shot of their time together - what a fantastic crew!

If you are interested in our Justice Advocate program, JA’s serve in a volunteer capacity as trained representatives of IJM’s work - reaching out to churches, universities, and other community organizations; speaking, answering questions, building connections. We began this program throught the IJM Institute five years ago, testing it out as a pilot in the Pacific Northwest. The Church Mobilization team now runs the program and is receiving applications for JA’s in many regions of the US - if you are interested, shoot an email to .
