Our mission is to improve access to justice. An opportunity to volunteer speaks to the primary factor that led us all to choose the profession of law: serving the people of the community by helping them obtain justice. By volunteering with us, you are joining a large corps of volunteers coordinated by a staff driven to improve access to justice.
VLB offers several ways that you can volunteer to help low-income clients. You can sign up for a two hour shift at any of our Help Desks or represent a client through our extended representation program. If you have any questions about volunteering or about training, please contact Nancy Yarbrough.
