Our Board
Volunteers play an important role in our community legal clinic. Staff, volunteer clinic members, and board members work in partnership to protect the rights of low-income people and build a more fair and equitable community in Halton that is consistent with the clinic’s Mission Statement.
Volunteer clinic members and board members must live or work in Halton. This ensures that the legal clinic’s service priorities are determined based on the needs of low-income people living in Halton.
