[Remote or onsite] The Justice & Diversity Center (JDC) offers free legal clinics each month. These clinics offer short-term legal advice to low-income clients in the San Francisco area. Many of our clients speak primarily Spanish and need interpreters to communicate with the attorneys and receive the legal advice and services they ended. Utilizing your language skills provides critical help to clients so they can receive life-changing legal assistance.
If you are interested in volunteering for a legal clinic, JDC will email you with the dates and times of upcoming clinics that need interpretation services.
Interpreters are essential for clients with limited or no English proficiency and their ability to access legal services. Please consider volunteering today! You don’t need to have legal experience to volunteer!
