Network Advancement Associate

The American Constitution Society for Law and Policy (ACS) is the nation’s foremost progressive legal organization, with a diverse nationwide network that includes nearly 250 student and lawyer chapters, and progressive lawyers, students, judges, scholars, elected officials, and advocates. Our mission is to support and advocate for laws and legal systems that redress the founding failures of our Constitution, strengthen our democratic legitimacy, uphold the rule of law, and realize the promise of equality for all.

ACS has an immediate opening for a Network Advancement Associate to manage ACS’s growing network and support the overall work of the Department of Network Advancement. ACS chapters are not only the lifeblood of ACS, but a tailor-made infrastructure for sharing ideas, testing theories, and gathering diverse inputs. Together, and with your support, we will move ACS forward to meet this critical inflection point in our nation’s history. We will continue to build a community around a shared identity and values. We will defend democracy and support those who champion the rule of law. And we will transform our system of law and government into a force for good in all our lives.
