The Legal Aid Society of Cleveland – Pro Bono Opportunities!
Next week is National Celebrate Pro Bono Week! The Legal Aid Society of Cleveland is hosting a number of events, both for clients and to recognize their volunteers. Below is the list of student volunteer opportunities. As always, you do not need any experience nor do you need to bring any materials. All volunteers will meet with a Legal Aid Supervisor for about 15 minutes prior to each event to explain what needs to be done and how to do it. If you are interested in any of these, please email Lauren Gilbride at lauren.gilbride@lasclev.org. Please only pick one event. Each volunteer will receive a logistics sheet a few days prior to the event.
