About CLSEPA

COLLABORATION

In order to provide the best possible services to people who come to us for help, Community Legal Services collaborates extensively with:

  1. Community organizations and local non-profit groups
  2. Local government and business
  3. Stanford University and Stanford Law School
  4. Service providers throughout the Bay Area
Board of Directors. Our board of directors and advisory board are made up of community members and other friends of CLS, including executive directors of local non-profits, prominent attorneys, members of the EPA City Council and Rent Stabilization Board, and the first Mayor of East Palo Alto.

Stanford Community Law Clinic. CLS and the Stanford Community Law Clinic are located in the same building. The two agencies cooperate to provide as much service as possible without duplication of effort. We overlap specifically in those areas where the need exceeds the capacity of either agency.

OUR VOLUNTEERS

CLS has benefited in six months from thousands of hours of volunteer service, including countless hours of our Board and VAP firms. Students, (particularly Stanford law students, attorneys, other professionals, former clients and community members, provide help to CLS with everything from legal advice to reception, translation, furniture assembly, and much more.

Please contact us at info@clsepa.org or (650) 326-6440 if you are interested in joining our volunteer team.
