Volunteer for Legal Aid of the Bluegrass

| When Legal
Aid, 30 years ago,
began a volunteer
lawyer program to
complement its
effort, I enrolled,
and I am still
enrolled, and proud
to assist Legal Aid
in providing legal
assistance to those
in need.

Legal Aid of the Bluegrass welcomes volunteers who want to donate their time and services to help our low-income clients with their civil legal problems. We depend on the help of volunteer attorneys, paralegals, language interpreters, expert witnesses, investigators, and other people interested in benefits issues.
