About The Position

The Tahirih Justice Center (Tahirih) is a national, nonprofit organization that serves women, girls, and all immigrant survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, trafficking, forced marriage, and other forms of violence. Tahirih’s whole-person approach provides each survivor with free legal support and social services to secure the rights they are entitled to under U.S. law and to build stable lives. Tahirih translates expertise gained from serving our clients for almost thirty years into training, education, and policy advocacy to ensure that systems, laws, and policies protect immigrant survivors from violence and exploitation. By amplifying survivors' experiences, Tahirih’s mission is to create a world in which all people share equal rights and live in safety and with dignity.

The fellow must live within commuting distance of our Falls Church, VA office or be willing to relocate to the area.

Tahirih’s Bahá’í Service Fellowships were created to enable Fellows to engage in one year of service to humanity and learn from the work of a well-established, Bahá’í-inspired, non-profit organization. The fellows who serve in these positions help advance the organization’s mission through meaningful professional work to achieve justice while also being of service in cooperation with the local Bahá’í community through outreach and engagement (up to 8 hours per week).
