About Volunteers of Legal Service (VOLS)
Volunteers of Legal Service (VOLS) is a nonprofit organization founded in 1984 that provides free civil legal services to low-income New Yorkers. It operates on a pro bono-first model, incorporating volunteer attorneys from private law firms and companies into its projects, and it works with community-based groups so residents can learn about its services in familiar settings. Its projects address senior life planning, immigrant youth cases, public benefits access, small business legal questions, and family law matters for incarcerated mothers, among other civil issues.
The organization is based in New York City, with its listed address at 40 Worth Street, and it describes its service area as all five boroughs. Its programs include the Senior Law Project, Immigration Project, Microenterprise Project, and Benefits Law Project. Its website states that its pro bono program partners with 83 law firms and corporations, while a LinkedIn profile describes a network of more than 1,000 pro bono attorneys.
