Join the fight for justice and become a Guardian ad Litem (GAL) for disabled adults. Chicago Volunteer Legal Services (CVLS) is hosting a training on March 28 to teach individuals how to become a GAL and provide legal support for disabled adults in need.
Trained volunteers will be matched with appropriate clients for legal advice, including information about alternatives to litigation such as rental assistance, mediation, and repayment plans. Volunteers will also be able to represent clients in Zoom mediation sessions, and if necessary, prepare settlement agreements or court documents.
Sit down with a CVLS staff attorney as they take you through the ins and outs of being a Chicago Volunteer Legal Services volunteer.
