Making Pro Bono Possible: Navigating Platforms and Pathways to Legal Support
Finding the right pro bono support shouldn’t be a mystery. This session explores how clearinghouses and matching platforms make it simple and effective for nonprofits, legal service providers, and organizations to connect legal needs with skilled volunteers.
Participants will hear directly from organizations operating these platforms and take part in interactive demonstrations. The session provides practical guidance on accessing, using, and contributing to these services, helping participants replicate successful models in their own contexts and strengthen pro bono networks.
