We are seeking a dedicated Legal Advisor/Company Secretary to support COEMPOWERED in solidifying our legal foundation as we work to empower disadvantaged communities. Your primary responsibility will be to draft our Articles of Association, oversee the legal process of incorporating our organization as a company limited by guarantee, and guide us in securing recognition as a nonprofit or charitable company.

This role is critical to our mission, and while we have clear objectives, we are open to your suggestions on how you can best contribute to our goals. Your involvement will make a lasting impact on our ability to continue empowering those who need it most.
