Volunteer attorney needed! Follow link at left for more information

People volunteer for CLSEPA in a variety of ways.

Attorneys are our biggest source of volunteers -- last year, attorneys contributed 8,000 volunteer hours to CLSEPA cases. A number of paralegals volunteer their time as well, particularly in the area of immigration.

Volunteers help out in many other ways. For instance, they write articles for our newsletter, design graphics for our publications, translate at clinics, organize our databases, and answer the phone.

In short, everything we do involves volunteers. Your help can make a big difference in the lives of those who need it most.
