We need help answering our phones. Elders from around the county call us looking for help. We have some staff who answer phones, but it is often not enough. Different shifts are available on different days, or you can fill in when the call volume is particularly high or when someone is out sick. You will receive training in how to respond to requests for help, what information we need to collect, and how to pass that information along so that our attorneys can help them if their problem requires it. Skills in languages other than English is especially needed! (though we also need English speakers)

Mission Statement
The mission of CCSLS is to protect the rights of seniors. By providing legal services, the organization is also able to mediate poverty and improve health outcomes for the population it serves. Lawyers are uniquely qualified to help identify and address legal issues that impede the ability of seniors to remain healthy and independent.
Description
Contra Costa Senior Legal Services (CCSLS) is a private, nonprofit agency that has been providing free legal services to older residents aged 60 or older in the County since 1976. Thousands of seniors have benefited from these services which have enabled them to stay in their homes, to become eligible for and to retain public benefits, to recover real and personal property wrongly taken from them, and to obtain relief from physical, financial, and emotional abuse.
CCSLS seeks to provide the broadest possible access to its services. It prioritizes those areas of law relevant to the needs of older residents of the County, especially those not otherwise addressed by other legal services programs. CCSLS regularly provides individual assistance to over 1,000 clients per year and provides outreach and training to hundreds more.
