Volunteer

Please note: FLS will not be taking applications for new volunteers until February 2008. Thank you to all those that have contacted us recently. Other Community Legal Services may need volunteers. To see a list of CLCs go to the Federation of Community Legal Services site:

Overview

Fitzroy Legal Service is able to harness the social capital of approximately 200 volunteers to deliver a range of services during the day and night We offer legal advice service five nights a week We are the only legal service able to offer this level of service. We also have volunteers who contribute to the whole organisation during the day through administration, legal research and policy work. Without this contribution of many unpaid hours, Fitzroy Legal Service would be reduced to half of our capacity. The ramifications of this to the local community would be enormous.

Volunteer work is available Monday to Friday during the day or evening.
