LiveHelp volunteer/pro bono opportunity with Illinois Legal Aid Online (ILAO)

In order to register, sign up and/or volunteer for the Illinois Legal Aid Online's LiveHelp session, you must email CPA's Director-At-Large Gabriel Evelyn here or at gevelyn1@gmail.com. 

Please note that you must have completed the initial training before attending any session(s) and can be coordinated beforehand with Gabriel Evelyn.  You can volunteer remotely from your home or bring your laptop and volunteer in-person at ILAO (161 N. Clark, 16th floor, Chicago, IL. Dinner will be provided.)

We volunteer with ILAO every third Tuesday of the month. Registration opens on the 1st of every month and will close as soon as we have enough volunteers.

CPA collaborates with Illinois Legal Aid Online (ILAO) for its LiveHelp Program. LiveHelp is an online chat service that allows people looking for legal information and self-help resources on IllinoisLegalAid.org to ask a remotely located LiveHelp Volunteer for assistance in navigating the website and finding answers to their legal questions.

Illinois Legal Aid.org is a vital resource for low-income people throughout Illinois who have to resolve their own legal problems because they cannot afford a lawyer. LiveHelp volunteers provide direct person-to-person online help so that people can get the information they need to achieve more positive outcomes to their legal problems.

Volunteers can participate from any computer with stable internet access, and ILAO will provide training, supervision, and support.
