ABA's National Celebration of Pro Bono Week

Every year in October the American Bar Association joins legal organizations from around the country in hosting the National Celebration of Pro Bono. Beginning on Sunday, October 23rd, legal aid providers and non-profit organizations like The Pro Bono Project honor their volunteers and supporters. This year The Pro Bono Project is hosting a number of events to draw attention to civil legal aid and the important work volunteer lawyers, law students, paralegals, and others do to support access to justice for under-served and under-represented members of our community.

Join us as we celebrate the important work of our legal community. The heart and soul of The Pro Bono Project is the collaborative effort between the Project's staff and hundreds of volunteers who give their time and expertise pro bono—at no charge—every year to open the doors to the civil legal system for metro area residents in need

With limited full and part-time staff, The Pro Bono Project always needs help handling cases for clients as well as in our office. The Project also has many committees that need volunteers from all walks of life. If you have expertise in areas such as fundraising, event planning, or administrative support, The Project welcomes your contribution of time and talent.

Opening doors to access the civil legal system to those in need takes an army of volunteers. The Pro Bono Project volunteers are passionate about this community and determined to provide access to justice for those in need.
