Need Legal Aid Help? Get Started

Alumni


THE ALUMNI CIRCLE

The Legal Aid Society of Cleveland was founded in 1905.  Legal Aid achieves this goal through the work of its attorneys, staff, and volunteers. Over the years, thousands of people have worked with Legal Aid to help people secure access to safety, economic security, and health. All of these people, no matter how long or short their time with Legal Aid, are part of the Legal Aid family. That is why we began the Legal Aid Alumni Circle, an opportunity for our extended family to connect and remain involved with the organization.

WHO CAN JOIN THE ALUMNI CIRCLE?

The Alumni Circle includes:

  • Former staff
  • Former board members
  • Former loaned associates
  • Former interns/externs
  • Former in-house volunteers

HOW TO GET INVOLVED

Getting involved in the Alumni Circle is easy! There are several ways to participate:

  • Become a Member via an annual gift – Through your annual gift to Legal Aid, you will gain membership in the Alumni Circle.  A full list of current Alumni Circle Members are displayed below.
  • Volunteer –Whether an attorney, law student, or just an engaged community member, you can help Legal Aid by participating in clinics and community outreach events. Attorneys have the special opportunity to actually represent clients, increasing whom Legal Aid’s capacity to serve.
  • Show your alumni pride – The best way to get the word out about the Alumni Circle is for you to advertise it to your friends and colleagues.  Include the Alumni Circle on your LinkedIn profile (and link to Legal Aid's LinkedIn page), resume, CV, and/or law firm bio!
