Pro Bono at AppalReD Legal Aid

At AppalReD Legal Aid, we believe everyone deserves access to justice, no matter their income. Each year, our attorneys help survivors of domestic violence, families facing eviction or struggling after natural disasters, seniors experiencing fraud or abuse, and many others in crisis.

But the demand for legal help is greater than our staff alone can meet.

That’s where you come in.

By volunteering your skills, you can change lives right here in eastern and south-central Kentucky. Whether you’re a lawyer, paralegal, or law student, your time and expertise ensure that vulnerable people aren’t left to face the legal system alone.

Please watch this welcome video, which will answer many questions you might have about volunteering.

Make A Difference

Legal Representation changes lives.

Individuals who cannot afford an attorney or access critical information are unlikely to prevail in complex court systems designed for those with legal representation. But with you by their side, clients win. And we all win when the result is safer and more secure lives for members of our communities.

AppalReD Legal Aid’s Pro Bono program helps meet the tremendous need for civil legal help in eastern and south-central Kentucky. We are here to support you!
