The National Women's Law Center seeks a fellow or legal fellow focused on health equity and contraceptive access. This role will support the Center's legal, litigation, and policy work on health equity and contraceptive access, with a focus on BIPOC, women with few financial resources, and women who face intersectional and other barriers to care. This role will be on the Center's Reproductive Rights and Health team and is a full-time, one-year term-limited position, to begin in fall 2026.
This is a full-time exempt position of 37.5 hours per week.
The National Women's Law Center fights for gender justice — in the courts, in public policy, and in our society — working across the issues that are central to the lives of women and girls.
We use the law in all its forms to change culture and drive solutions to the gender inequity that shapes our society and to break down the barriers that harm all of us — especially those who face multiple forms of discrimination, including women of color, LGBTQ people, and low-income women and families.
For more than 50 years, we have been on the leading edge of every major legal and policy victory for women, and we need you with us to continue this fight.
The ideal candidate will have:

The successful candidate's salary within this range will be determined by the number years of relevant experience they bring to the role.
