As the world leader in volunteerism we feel a responsibility to unite our broader community, and to use this moment to become stronger.
See below to participate in our Impact Sector survey, access our COVID-19 Resource Hub, and explore our growing directory of COVID-19-specific and virtual volunteering opportunities.
Illinois Legal Aid Online (ILAO) puts the law within reach for all. ILAO streamlines the delivery of free and pro bono legal services to lower-income Illinois residents, and delivers easy-to-understand legal information and assistance to those who can't afford a lawyer.
We need Illinois attorneys to help us review and revise our content to ensure legal accuracy. Our volunteers also help us draft new content in areas we haven't covered yet. We also accept attorneys licensed in other areas. Please do not apply if you are not an attorney.
As a Legal Content Volunteer, you can work from any location at any time. All you need is a desktop computer or laptop with a reliable internet connection.
Work as little or as much as you would like. (Volunteers receive as many projects as they want in a given year and contribute an average of 4 hours per project over a 3 week period.) Receive training and ongoing support to edit and revise our content. Enjoy the flexibility that comes along with this volunteer opportunity and have fun while working convenient hours.
