Description/Duties
Multimedia Project Manager – Cannabis Expungement Education and Outreach Campaign
Homeless Persons Representation Project (HPRP)
Fully remote with option to work in Baltimore, MD office
12-Month Part-Time Position (20 hours per week)
Starting June 1, 2023, Ending May 31, 2024
Who We Are: Homeless Persons Representation Project (HPRP) works to end homelessness in
Maryland by providing outreach, education, and free civil legal services to unhoused or unstably
housed people. HPRP collaborates with persons with lived experience of homelessness to
advocate for policy changes, recognizing that people have the power and expertise to
determine solutions to systemic issues affecting their lives.
The Project: In the last year, Maryland has made transformative strides in its cannabis and
criminal expungement laws. As a legal services provider, it is essential that we reach those who
have faced cannabis-related violations and work with them to expunge their criminal records
for those violations. With cannabis legalization going into effect in Maryland on July 1, we
believe our work will bring this transformative restructuring of the law full circle. As a recipient
of special funding from the Maryland Legal Services Corporation’s Cannabis Expungement
Grant, HPRP will collaborate with seven other legal services organizations to reach as many
people as possible who need expungement or legal information. With a statewide coordinated
approach, we will target libraries, community centers, government service agencies, and more
to promote the expanded eligibility for expungement. As part of this coordinated effort, HPRP
will contract a media company to create educational and promotional materials for information
and training around this initiative. Our work will include content creation and marketing for
radio, TV, podcasts, social media, and other platforms. If you have a passion for social justice,
excellent project management skills, and a keen eye for detail, we encourage you to apply for
this exciting opportunity to positively impact our community.
