Opportunity with Crossroads for Florida Kids

Are you passionate about child advocacy and interested in gaining practical experience while making an impact in the life of a child? Crossroads for Florida Kids is currently accepting applications for law student volunteers. You would be paired with two volunteer attorneys that are representing a child as their attorneys ad litem. As a student volunteer, you would be expected to attend court dates, staffings, accompany attorneys to meet with the client between court appearances, and occasionally conduct legal research remotely. 

Interested students should email a cover letter and resume to Scott Tolliver, Executive Director of Crossroads for Florida Kids, at [email protected].  In the cover letter, address why you are interested in advocating for children and what area(s) of law you are considering after law school. Crossroads will make an attempt to match you with an attorney ad litem working in your desired field of interest.

Eligibility: You must be a 2L/3L to participate and be willing to commit to volunteer through the spring semester. 

Hours are eligible for legal pro bono credit.
