• Attorneys: By volunteering just a few hours a month, you can directly assist community members who otherwise have limited access to legal services due to financial restrictions.  No special training is required, and any California-licensed attorney can volunteer (but please review our orientation materials first). Immigration attorneys who are both licensed and not licensed to practice in California are welcome to volunteer on the 2nd Sunday of the month at the ICC. Volunteers will be given the necessary materials, tools and training to effectively provide legal assistance and direct community members to the appropriate legal resources.  *Often, what may seem like basic legal knowledge to you can lead to the efficient resolution of a legal problem when shared with a community member.* The success of the legal clinics depends on support from a solid network of attorneys.  
• Law Students, Law Graduates, or Non-CA Licensed Attorneys: You would be partnered with an experienced attorney and be exposed to various areas of law. While you won't be able to provide legal advise, you can assist attorney volunteers with intake and coordination. We can also use your help with marketing and outreach. 
• Other Non-Attorneys: Administrative support (scheduling, intake, etc.); Marketing to the community (flyers, articles, radio and tv spots, etc.); Technology support (using technology to better connect with our volunteers and clients); Research support (keep our reference materials up to date; do background research for CLE presentations)

• Non-Attorneys: Individual presenters need not be California-licensed attorneys.  Non-licensed volunteers will have access to volunteer attorneys to ensure that they can field questions from attendees.
