The AGO has and Infants in the Workplace Program to help support our new parents in lowering day care costs, reducing stress and successfully transitioning back to the workplace.
There is evidence that parent/child bonding, especially in the very early stages of life, is extremely influential on how a child views themselves, other people, and the world for the rest of their life. Our Infants in the Workplace Program acknowledges that when infants are able to stay with their parents for a greater period of time it benefits both the family and our office.
For Attorneys: The Attorney Supervisor Mentorship Program supports attorneys newly promoted or hired into a mid-level manager position, such as Team Leader or Section Chief. This informal program aims to provide new attorney supervisors with the tools and resources to succeed in their new roles, and the pair determines together the scope of their relationship.
For Professional Staff: The Professional Staff Mentorship Program is a six-month program designed for employees to explore career paths, promote professional development and expand networking opportunities.
Training & Development
The AGO supports and promotes employee training and development at all levels within the organization. This includes training, education and other staff development activities that provide or enhance essential job skills and knowledge, foster employee growth, encourage employees to reach their full potential in the AGO, and satisfy the Washington State Bar requirements of continuing legal education credits for attorneys in order to maintain licensing.
Education
The AGO supports and promotes tuition reimbursement for education. Tuition reimbursement may be available for a course that provides or enhances essential job skills and knowledge related to the employee's work assignment. It may also be available for a course that furthers an employee's career development within the office. We also recognize that allowing scholarship and professional development of employees will enhance career development in Washington State government and the Office of the Attorney General. Under our education leave policy, qualifying employees may request educational leave without pay for study, classes or research.
We are very proud of the AGO’s extraordinarily generous and dedicated employees who continually give back to our communities in many different ways. Throughout the year, AGO employees across the state are engaged in an array of projects and efforts to support a vast range of causes, from food banks and community legal clinics to school supply and book drives for children.
Pro Bono
The Attorney General’s Office is a proud member of Washington’s pro bono legal community. The office promotes and supports pro bono legal services and assists our attorneys in meeting their professional obligations to provide those services. We believe all employees of the Attorney General's Office have skills needed to help Washington families in need of legal services. Our AGO Pro Bono Committee works to connect volunteers with legal clinics and legal aid programs across the state and provides resources and support to employees interested in pro bono opportunities.
