Volunteering
Our volunteers keep coming back. Why? Just ask them!
WHAT’S IN IT FOR ME?
Our volunteers enjoy the My Community Legal (MCL) experience for many different reasons, including:
- To give something back
- Helping local battlers
- Networking with colleagues and law students
- Mixing with lawyers in other practice areas
Please ask one of our volunteers what MCL is all about or book an orientation / induction and see for yourself.
