Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Fill in the volunteer form linked from the Volunteer button on the center's site, and list the skills you can offer.
You need to sign up first.
What to expect
The site does not say what a first volunteer task looks like or how much time it takes. Its training is mostly online webinars of about 90 minutes for defense professionals, and the volunteer work it names is legal help such as post-conviction appeals.
Tips for your first visit
- List the skills you have on the volunteer form, since the center says any skill can help.
- Interns apply by email with a resume and cover letter, not through the volunteer form.
Newcomer welcome
Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: The site has a public volunteer form, says any skill can help, and describes no application or interview for volunteers..
