Are you passionate about equity, tech, and using your legal knowledge to support grassroots innovation? Ignite This Ish is a growing nonprofit that builds digital tools and creative programming to uplift marginalized communities through tech equity. We're looking for a Legal Advisor to help us navigate the legal landscape as we expand our impact.

About The Role

This is a volunteer opportunity to provide strategic and practical legal guidance to a small but mighty organization building programs like our Design Equity Lab, a 12-week UX design course for youth from underrepresented communities. You’ll play a key part in helping us structure partnerships, protect our IP, and ensure we're staying compliant as we grow.

Responsibilities

  • Provide general legal guidance on nonprofit operations
  • Review contracts, sponsorship agreements, and grant requirements
  • Advise on liability and risk issues related to youth programming
  • Assist with protecting intellectual property (branding, curriculum, research)
  • Help develop simple internal policies (e.g., volunteer waivers, media releases)

Ideal For Someone Who

  • Has a background in nonprofit, IP, contract, or youth program law
  • Wants to give back and shape an equity-focused tech nonprofit
  • Can contribute 3–5 hours/month and advise on an as-needed basis
  • Believes in equitable access to opportunity and digital tools

This is a unique chance to join at the ground level and shape how we grow responsibly and sustainably. If this sounds like a match, we’d love to connect.

Let’s build something powerful together.
