Legal Hand trains local volunteers at storefront centers in some of New York’s most vulnerable neighborhoods.
These volunteers provide free legal information and referrals to their neighbors. Assistance can take many forms, including help with navigating the social services system, completing online legal forms, and drafting form letters. A legal services attorney is on-site at each Legal Hand office to train and assist volunteers.
