  • Legal Pipeline Initiatives (Option B) Local School Visits 

    What this project involves
    Use your network and skills to visit one of your local schools. Take a couple of colleagues along and visit a school for an hour or a over lunch. Read students a book or host a Q&A. Share with students what it's like to practice law and demonstrate law as a career path.

    This project is more independent, as you will use your community connections to coordinate with a school local to you. You can treat this as a one and done volunteer opportunity or you can coodrinate multiple visits. We do have volunteers who have done this before and they can share their framework so you don't have to re-invent the wheel.
