Volunteers are the lifeblood of the Legal Aid Foundation of Tallahassee, donating their time, energy, knowledge, and resources. The Foundation continuously seeks new ways to:
-
Match volunteers to their desire to make an impact
-
Offer volunteers the resources they need to be successful
-
Thank our volunteers publicly and privately
-
Recognize the organizations who support volunteerism to Legal Aid
-
Offer a variety of volunteer opportunities based on time available, interests and expertise
How You Can Help

Limited Representation through Mediation
If the case doesn’t settle, your commitment is done. Great for those with limited time ability.*
