Upcoming Service Opportunities

Wills for Heroes

Serving Our Seniors
Wills for Heroes is a service project that provides free wills, living wills, and healthcare and financial powers of attorney to first responders (police, firefighters, paramedics, etc.) and their spouses or partners. These one-day events are held every other month at a first responder department or agency in Utah. Participants are trained and provided with laptop computers that have been preloaded with specialized software that allow volunteer attorneys to take questionnaire information previously completed by the first responders and input it to create the estate planning documents.
Serving Our Seniors provides pro bono services to low-income senior citizens. Specifically, the program helps senior citizens prepare and execute critical estate planning documents, such as advanced health care directives and powers of attorney. The event is held multiple times throughout the year at senior centers around the state. Each event offers one CLE credit hour for attorney participants.

Project Street Youth works in conjunction with the Volunteers of America and seeks to educate and raise awareness of issues facing homeless youth. It also implements elements of the ABA YLD Project Street Youth toolkit for hosting legal clinics to help homeless youth with credit and consumer issues, public assistance and government benefits, tickets, warrants, and minor criminal matters. 

Veterans Clinic

Pro Se Clinics
The Veterans Clinic Coordinator seeks to improve Utah veterans’ access to justice by holding monthly legal clinics. The Veterans Clinic also coordinates with state and national legal aid groups and veterans organizations to identify and address areas of concern specific to veterans.

For more information, contact Joseph Rupp at [email protected]
Sign up to volunteer to help Pro Se clients in an array of limited scope legal clinics. Attorneys provide advice and representation for a single hearing for pro se individuals in Landlord Tenant, Debt Collection, or Family law calendars. It's an extremely effective way to do pro bono, and you're only on the hook for a couple of hours.
These calendars provide a much needed service to pro se individuals. We have supervisory attorneys present to help provide guidance at these calendar settings. Sign up here: Serve Our Communities

ALIGHT works with pro bono attorneys to fight for the rights of local human trafficking survivors. In the Mobilizing Justice Program, attorneys with various specializations (e.g., family law, criminal defense, employment law, tax, corporate/IP, access to benefits, etc.) sign up for discrete pro bono cases according to their legal area and bandwidth and receive trauma-informed training and resources to provide advocacy, counsel and/or representation to survivors.
