GBA and Women’s Resource Center of Greensboro Seek Volunteer Attorneys for Empowering Women through Attorney Hotline Program

The GBA, in partnership with the Women’s Resource Center of Greensboro, is seeking volunteer attorneys for the WRC’s Attorney Hotline Program. This program is designed to provide community women, ages 18 and older, with essential legal information, and its goal is to empower these women to make informed decisions based on a clear understanding of their legal rights and responsibilities, particularly as they navigate life transitions.

The Attorney Hotline plays a crucial role in addressing this need, ensuring that women can gain the information they require.

Program Overview:

Appointment Structure: Each appointment is a 15-minute telephone legal information session in the area of law where you feel most comfortable. We emphasize to clients that this service is for answering legal questions and does not constitute legal representation.

Scheduling: We will coordinate appointments for you in 15-minute intervals during the times you are available. Clients will receive your phone number, along with a written confirmation of their appointment, instructing them to call you at the specified time. If you prefer a more flexible arrangement, please let us know how many appointments you can take each month, and we will adjust accordingly.

To volunteer, please complete the online form by scanning the QR code or at the following link: Attorney Hotline Volunteer Form. This will help the WRC gather the information needed to schedule you on the hotline. Most attorneys volunteer for 1-2 hours a month, and the WRC greatly appreciates any time you can contribute.

Your willingness to assist WRC clients by providing access to legal information is invaluable and is a rewarding experience for our legal partners. For more information, or with questions, please contact Audrey Amos at audrey@womenscentergso.org.
