Equal Justice Works 2009 Summer Corps Application Opens Tomorrow
In 2008, 333 Summer Corps members performed over 120,434 service hours at 234 nonprofit public interest organizations across the country. The 2008 Summer Corps members assisted 42,237 individuals and families in need of legal assistance directly and though clinics, presentations and outreach.
The Equal Justice Works Summer Corps program engages law students around the country who are expanding the delivery of legal services to those who need it most. Summer Corps is an AmeriCorps-funded program that in 2009 will provide 355 law students with the opportunity to earn a $1,000 education award voucher for dedicating their summer to a qualifying legal project at a nonprofit public interest organization. Summer Corps members provide critically needed legal assistance in low-income and underserved communities in the United States on a broad range of issue areas.
The 2009 Summer Corps application will be available on the Equal Justice Works website on Wednesday, March 18. The deadline to apply is Wednesday, April 1 at 5:00 pm.
