The East Bay Community Law Center offers a variety of volunteer opportunities. If you are interested in participating in any aspect of the Volunteer Program described below, please contact EBCLC's Volunteer Coordinator, Jen Neuber.

Clerical Positions
Volunteers assist staff with office clerical projects. They receive training in general office management as well as an introduction to the East Bay Community Law Center and how our services are provided.

Tax Preparation
During tax season (January-April) volunteers can participate in the Alameda County VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) Program. Volunteers make a minimum commitment of 20 hours during tax season and receive training on how to prepare simple tax returns for low-income individuals and families in Alameda County. The program is held at the East Bay Community Law Center in conjunction with United Way of the Bay Area and is a rewarding experience for volunteers and clients. For more information about the Alameda County VITA Program, visit the United Way of the Bay Area website at http://uwba.org.

Volunteer Attorneys
Volunteer Attorneys work with staff attorneys in all of our practice areas. Attorneys who wish to volunteer are encouraged either to send a resume and expression of interest to the Volunteer Coordinator or to visit our pro bono page and contact one of the managing attorneys directly.

Community Service
Volunteers who wish to complete community service at EBCLC as part of a criminal or traffic citation should contact Project 22 through the Berkeley or Oakland court system for a referral to our agency.
