ABOUT US: 

“It always seems impossible until it's done.” - Nelson Mandela

We believe that even the biggest problems can be broken down into small, achievable steps. We believe poverty and access to justice are part of the same problem. And to solve this, we just need to discover what the steps are.

At Open Door Legal, we're pioneering the country's first system of universal access to civil legal representation to dramatically reduce poverty and prove that the law really can belong to all of us. We've grown 100x since our founding and in the next 3 years, we hope to finish scaling across San Francisco and eventually become a model across the county.

To achieve this ambitious goal, we've created an award-winning and best-in-class legal aid organization full of creative, results-oriented people. 

We believe that injustice is the heart of poverty and we're looking for someone to join us in having a systemic impact on how we, as a society, ensure justice for all.
