CLC Volunteers is a joint project
of the National
Pro Bono Resource Centre (NPBRC) and the National
Association of Community Legal Centres (NACLC).
NPBRC is an independent, non-profit organisation committed to supporting
and promoting pro bono legal services in Australia.
NACLC is the association of state community legal centre (CLC)
organisations in Australia. Member organisations represent around
200 community legal centres nationally.
This project was devised in order to make it easier for members
of the public, both lawyers and non-lawyers to find relevant information
about how to volunteer at a community legal centre in an appropriate
geographic location.
This website, through its Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs),
explains about the benefits of volunteering at a CLC, the attributes
and skills that volunteers need and the type of work that volunteers
do.
For CLCs based in Victoria, this site links to
www.lawvolunteers.org.au, a joint initiative of the Monash Law
Students Society and the La Trobe law Students Association that
lists all Victorian CLCs and has as its focus identification of
opportunities for law students in Melbourne to volunteer their time
to community organisations in Victoria. CLC Volunteers thanks the
two student societies for their support for this project.
