Students: Volunteer & Intern in Pro Bono

You don't have to wait until law school to make a difference. High school, pre-law, undergraduate, and law students can sign up to volunteer or intern with the legal-aid organizations, clinics, and firms in our network — and help close the justice gap.

Why Get Involved as a Student?

Give back early

Support real people facing eviction, family crises, immigration issues, and more — while they wait for help.

Learn the field

Get hands-on exposure to how legal aid works: intake, research, outreach, and the day-to-day of public-interest law.

Build your future

Volunteer and internship experience strengthens college and law-school applications — and confirms whether law is for you.

Roles are supportive and non-legal (research, outreach, administrative, and translation help). Students do not give legal advice — that always stays with licensed attorneys and supervised clinics.
