We are looking for students to volunteer from 9:15am-1:00pm on Saturday, October 28, 2017.  The clinic will be held at the Akron-Summit County Public Library [60 S. High St., Akron, OH 44308]. The time you volunteer can be applied toward your graduation requirement as pro bono limited means hours.

There will be a mandatory volunteer training on Friday, October 28, 2017 from 4:30-6:00pm for first timers. Location of the training will be announced the week of the clinic.
