FRP Outreach Volunteers Project
Will you give of your time to help legal aid organizations in their pro bono work?
The FRP Outreach Volunteers Project connects Florida Registered Paralegals to legal aid organizations that need help. Volunteers assist with specifically delegated tasks on pro bono cases assigned by supervising attorneys within the legal aid organization.
How it works:
- FRPs fill out an interest form to participate and those names are be sorted by name, area of the state, areas of law, and availability.
- Legal aid organizations contact the project co-chairs to request volunteer help based on the specific need.
- Project co-chairs sort the list based on the specific needs and match those FRPs who can help according to the information provided on the interest form.
That’s it! Simple, yet impactful. Thank you for considering signing up for this project. Please reach out to co-chairs Jessica J. Peter and Irma M. Tharp if you have any questions.
