Illinois Legal Aid Online seeks volunteers fluent in Polish to complete or to review English-Polish translations for our website, www.IllinoisLegalAid.org.
The goal of the Volunteer Translation Program is to expand Illinois Legal Aid Online’s services to Spanish- and Polish- speaking Illinois residents. Help us increase the quantity and quality of legal resources on our website. This will allow Spanish- and Polish-speakers in Illinois to obtain more positive outcomes to their legal problems.
