Volunteer

Volunteer with California Rural Legal Assistance, Inc. (CRLA)

Tens of thousands of Californians priced out of private legal representation contact us for legal services every year. Volunteers provide crucial expertise and capacity that enable us to provide access to justice at no charge. 

We welcome volunteer attorneys, law students, law school graduates, paralegals, social workers, and other professionals. 

Are you an attorney interested in doing Pro Bono work?

CRLA offers private sector attorneys a wide variety of pro bono activities. Opportunities range from one-day clinics to multi-year cases across our different community-led advocacy priorities, including housing, employment, health, public education, LGBTQ+, language justice, environmental justice, immigration, and reentry. 

Prior experience is not required, as CRLA offers training and guidance for all clinics and cases.

Please contact our Pro Bono team at probonosupport@crla.org or (510) 267-0762 to discuss current opportunities that could fit your pro bono goals.

Not an attorney but still want to volunteer?
