Illinois Legal Aid Online (ILAO) - LIVEHELP PROGRAM

CPA volunteers 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.

You must complete an initial training session before you can volunteer. Please contact CPA's Director-At-Large Gabriel V. Evelyn at probono@chicagoparalegals.org to obtain more information about this exclusive member opportunity. 

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.
