Join Us

We are actively looking for additional Board members and volunteers to join us as we build out Digital Dignity as a national project.

Applications due November 13, 2026.

The Digital Dignity Legal Clinic (DDLC) Society is a British Columbia based non-profit dedicated to supporting victim-survivors of intimate image abuse . We provide pro bono and low bono legal assistance, public education, and law reform advocacy to help protect digital dignity and personal safety.

We are a growing organization in our startup phase, working toward operating a minimum viable legal clinic in 2027 and building toward a stable, sustainable model by 2030. Our work includes representing individuals before the Civil Resolution Tribunal and the courts, engaging in constitutional and public interest litigation, and developing trauma-informed client services.

We are currently recruiting new board members and volunteers to help us grow and better serve our community.

Board of Directors

DDLC is seeking three new directors to join our Board. We are particularly interested in candidates with backgrounds in:

  • Finance or accounting — to support budget oversight, grant management, and financial planning;

  • Social media, marketing, or communications — to help build our online presence, develop outreach strategies, and connect with the communities we serve; and

  • Law (especially technology law, privacy, or intimate-image issues) — to contribute legal expertise and help guide the Society's advocacy and casework.

We welcome applicants from all professional backgrounds who are passionate about digital safety, privacy rights, and supporting victim-survivors.

Volunteers

We are also looking for law student volunteers and other individuals who want to contribute their time and skills on a flexible basis. Volunteer roles may include:

  • legal research support and precedent development;

  • outreach and communications assistance; and

  • administrative leadership with the Board.

This is a meaningful opportunity to develop practical skills under the supervision of lawyers while contributing to an emerging public interest organization.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Board members attend regular virtual meetings, participate in governance decisions, and contribute to the Society's strategic direction. Depending on your background, you may also take on specific responsibilities, for example, helping with financial oversight, outreach, or legal strategy.

  • The Board typically meets monthly on Sundays by videoconference, though the schedule may vary. Meetings are generally 30 to 60 minutes.

  • No. Under the Society's bylaws, at least one-third of directors must be members of the Law Society of British Columbia, but the remaining positions are open to non-lawyers. We actively encourage applications from people with finance, marketing, communications, and other professional backgrounds.

  • Board meetings are held electronically, so you do not need to be based in British Columbia to participate. However, familiarity with the British Columbia legal and social-services landscape is an asset.

  • Board service involves attending monthly meetings and contributing to Board discussions and decisions between meetings. The time commitment is modest but may vary depending on the responsibilities you take on.

    Volunteer roles are flexible and can be tailored to your availability.

  • New board members are expected to begin their terms in January 2027.

    Volunteer positions may begin on a rolling basis.
