I stumbled upon this volunteer opportunity at Legal Advocacy and Resource Center (LARC) and wanted to pass it along.
LARC has a volunteer opportunity for students to work on its social security or bankruptcy projects. As a volunteer you are trained to counsel clients who have social security benefit or consumer questions. The commitment would be about 8-10 hours per week during the semester. LARC operates a free legal service hot-line in order to assist low-income Massachusetts residents.
This would be a great opportunity and if 25 hours or more are dedicated to this the work is eligible for the Public Service Transcript Notation Program, which looks great on both your resume and transcript. For more information on this program visit the Notation Website.
If you are interested in volunteering email Dan Biagiotti at dbiagiotti@gbls.org
