You Can Volunteer with a Legal Services Provider or Pro Bono Organization Legal services and pro bono providers offer opportunities for attorneys, paralegals, and others to volunteer in a variety of ways, serving clients directly or indirectly. As a volunteer, you can provide direct or indirect legal services to indigent clients through pro bono or other public interest law firms of your choice. As an advocate, you can encourage others to help, or organize advocacy efforts. As a mentor or resource provider, you can furnish indirect legal services, such as your expertise, to others providing direct services.
Much assistance is needed and many more opportunities to help exist.
By getting involved, you can make a positive impact on the lives of indigent individuals. You can support fellow members of the legal profession who provide these services. Call the Access to Justice Program or your local legal services provider for more details, or simply browse our Pro Bono Opportunities . The limited financial resources of legal services providers can often be stretched further by the contribution of goods or services which would otherwise be purchased by programs for staff use.
