About This Cause
Learn about us in this 2 minute video: https://www.crowdrise.com/help-baltimores-communities-grow Since our founding over 30 years ago, Community Law Center has provided countless hours of free legal services to organizations working to make positive change in their communities. Community Law Center has a constant influx of clients. We receive dozens of inquiries each week and we receive an average of one completed application for services every day. These legal services are provided by staff attorneys and volunteers through our Pro Bono Program. Community Law Center is a leader in using advocacy and the law to achieve meaningful grassroots solutions to complex daily problems faced in Baltimore’s neighborhoods such as vacant properties, nuisance liquor establishments, illegal and hazardous dumping, as well as increasing neighborhood leaders’ capacity to have their voices heard. The Pro Bono Program supports our panel of over 500 volunteer attorneys in providing legal services to community and nonprofit organizations throughout Maryland. In addition, the Pro Bono Program offers a How to Start and Maintain a Nonprofit workshop each month, which is a requirement for clients to attend so they gain a thorough understanding of the obligations of properly running an organization before being matched with an attorney. Our target population is community associations and nonprofits in Baltimore City with boards or memberships that are comprised of low-income residents. These organizations are at the forefront of fighting for improved health, safety, and welfare of Baltimore’s most vulnerable citizens with the overall goal of creating neighborhoods that are healthy, safe, and pleasant places to live. Our work is driven and directed by our target population.
