Volunteer Opportunities
Seeking Pro-Bono Attorneys
WE CAN aims to expand our capacity to provide free and confidential legal assistance to Cape Cod women by expanding our volunteer attorney network. Pro-bono attorneys are the backbone of this program, offering both personalized advice in 30-minute consultations and general information in group workshops to low- and moderate-income women. With the structure of WE CAN’s legal assistance program, each new volunteer amplifies the number of women served exponentially! Please spread the word and utilize your network.
