How would you like to be involved? 
We have in-office and mobile law clinic opportunities.
 
Please fill out our volunteer form or contact Promise Zone Coordinator, Donna Riordan at donna@legalaidtallahassee.org.

Volunteers are the lifeblood of the Legal Aid Foundation of Tallahassee, donating their time, energy, knowledge, and resources. The Foundation continuously seeks new ways to:

 

  • Match volunteers to their desire to make an impact

  • Offer volunteers the resources they need to be successful

  • Thank our volunteers publicly and privately

  • Recognize the organizations who support volunteerism to Legal Aid

  • Offer a variety of volunteer opportunities based on time available, interests and expertise

How You Can Help

As a Lawyer

Pro Bono Lawyer

​

Make an impact far beyond the case alone. Time commitment varies.*

Limited Representation through Mediation

​

If the case doesn’t settle, your commitment is done. Great for those with limited time ability.*

Advice and Counsel

​

Be a volunteer attorney at a Mobile Law for All clinic and provide 30 minute consultations. Also great for those with limited time ability; these clinics are held once a month for two hours. Sign up one month at a time!

Pro Bono Legal Consult

​

Call a client seeking pro bono representation to learn more about the case. You may be able to help in just 30 minutes.

Lawyer Mentor

​

Offer your civil expertise to young/new volunteer lawyers by phone, email or through Thunderdome Tallahassee.

Legal Case Triage

​

Attend a case triage meeting to review pro bono requests.

Volunteer Training

​

Teach or sponsor a CLE or GAL training for lawyer volunteers.

Student Volunteer

​

2Ls can assist with Mobile Law for All or at the LAF office with Intake. 3Ls can assist the Pro Bono Coordinator and volunteer attorneys.

As a Community Member

Event Planning and Participation
