We The Action Volunteer,
The holiday season is upon us! Like many, you may be thinking about how you can give back in the coming weeks. As a lawyer, you have the unique ability to make a difference using your legal expertise.
Below are three new opportunities for lawyers to support nonprofits working on the most pressing issues facing the nation. You can also browse the nearly 90 projects looking for lawyers here.
From all of us at We The Action: Happy holidays, and thank you for any time you can donate to these worthy organizations.
