Love Justice International (LJI) is a Christian nonprofit driven by a singular mission: to share the love of Jesus Christ by fighting the world's greatest injustices. We pursue this calling through two primary efforts—our expanding anti-human trafficking work and the care of orphaned and abandoned children.
We are looking for faithful, compassionate, and mission-driven problem-solvers—people who think deeply about how to fight injustice and share Christ's love in a broken world. This isn't just a job; it's a calling. If you're searching for an easy, comfortable career, there are plenty of other options. But if you're drawn to work that demands sacrifice, boldness, and faith, we invite you to apply and explore how you can be part of this mission.
Love Justice International has been recognized as a Best Christian Workplace for five consecutive years (2021–2025), most recently achieving the "Flourishing" category—the highest level of organizational health. Learn more about who we are, what sets us apart, and our open positions /careers.
