Legal Hand, Inc. is expanding nationally and for a limited time is in a position to provide funding for costs associated with the first year of new Legal Hand Call-In Centers. At Legal Hand, trained community volunteers, who are not lawyers and college and law students provide free legal information, resources and referrals to help community members resolve issues that affect their lives, and prevent problems from turning into legal actions. When problems become legal actions, targeted legal information and assistance with court forms is provided. Assistance is delivered by telephone, email or text. Volunteers work remotely. There are no income or immigration status restrictions. Issues addressed include housing, family, immigration, domestic violence, and benefits. Panel participants will also discuss strategies for volunteer recruitment, effective community outreach, and sources of possible future funding.
