About Us: 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.

What We Offer: Opportunities to truly change lives are exceptionally rare—but at LJI, that is exactly the kind of impact you can have. Although we’re a nonprofit, we operate as an “Impact Engineering” organization, focused solely on maximizing real-world outcomes. By combining scientific and business principles with field-led, locally informed insights, we intercept potential trafficking victims for under $112 each, creating a ripple effect that prevents several more individuals from enslavement. This remarkable efficiency underscores the profound, far-reaching impact your work can have on countless lives. 

Joining LJI means stepping into an opportunity to deeply impact lives by combating injustice and expressing the transformative love of Christ. At LJI, you'll be part of a connected, purpose-driven team committed to impactful, kingdom-class excellence.

Position Type: Volunteer Unpaid; Remote

Program and Position Overview: Love Justice International (LJI) combats human trafficking through transit monitoring—intercepting potential victims at key transportation hubs, where traffickers and victims are most visible. Because trafficking is already underway at these points, our teams can gather vital information to assist law enforcement in arresting traffickers and disrupting trafficking networks.To date, LJI has intercepted over 100,000 individuals, resulting in more than 2,000 arrests. For more information on our impact, visit our website: lovejustice.ngo. 

In addition to our anti-trafficking initiatives, LJI operates family homes and a school in Nepal for formerly orphaned and abandoned children. The Data Science Volunteer may also support this program by analyzing educational and well-being data to enhance the flourishing of these children.

Our approach to maximizing mission impact involves a process we call "Impact Engineering." Our data scientists are part of a dedicated Impact Engineering Team that develops, refines, and improves our core processes by creating practical, data-driven models that become the engines of our tools to drive impact. By continuously testing, refining, and standardizing these models, we ensure consistent, measurable, and scalable impact across all our programs. This team's innovative work directly supports our frontline staff and helps optimize our interventions, enabling Love Justice to deliver the greatest possible impact per dollar spent.

LJI prioritizes a rigorous, data-driven approach to maximize impact and minimize harm. We use careful data collection and analysis to measure our effectiveness, continually refining and improving our anti-trafficking interventions and care for the children in our Family Homes. Adhering to the principles of “be scientific” and "fail fast and often," we test innovative ideas quickly, discard what doesn't work, and scale interventions proven to produce the greatest measurable good per dollar spent. This disciplined, iterative approach helps us remain accountable to our mission, ensuring that every action we take truly benefits those we serve.

We need dedicated data scientists to develop predictive models and analytical insights to enhance our operations. These insights are then translated into practical applications by our data engineers. The Data Science Volunteer will play a key role in creating the data science models and performing the quantitative analyses to support LJI’s mission.

Joining LJI means stepping into an opportunity to deeply impact lives by combating injustice and expressing the transformative love of Christ. At LJI, you'll be part of a connected, purpose-driven team committed to impactful, kingdom-class excellence. Your analyses will directly contribute to saving lives, strengthening families, and helping children thrive in safe, loving environments.
