Volunteer

We need your time. The Harvard Legal Aid Bureau depends on our dedicated volunteers to help us fulfill our mission to delivery top quality legal services to low-income members of the Greater Boston community.

Whether you are interested in volunteering to build your resume, to give back to the community, satisfy a course requirement, earn school credits, or just to fill some of your free time; your commitment is a valuable contribution to the Bureau’s work.

We generally accept volunteers from all walks of life and from diverse backgrounds, and we have a variety of different opportunities available depending on your goals and skills: attorney volunteers, clerical volunteers, law student volunteers, undergraduate volunteers, and volunteer translators.

Our need for volunteers changes during the year, and it also depends on each individual’s background, availability, skills, and interests. Volunteers must be able to commit to a regular schedule, and we expect the same professionalism from volunteers as from our student attorneys and staff. Please look through these pages to learn about the work that we do and the potential opportunities we may have.
