Spring Service Week - GAWL Serves Together

    GAWL Spring Service Week - March 18-23, 2024

    The GAWL Foundation is excited to announce GAWL Spring Service Week - a weeklong statewide campaign of community service and pro bono events for GAWL members, its network of friends, family, colleagues, and others in the Georgia legal industry!

    What is GAWL Spring Service Week?
    From March 18-23, 2024, the GAWL Foundation is offering several philanthropic projects, performing different types of service in a variety of locations (including virtual!) and on different times and days. Our goal is to make philanthropic service easy and accessible for our audience of busy people. Anyone can participate for any opportunity that interests you and fits into your schedule!

      • Each time slot is 2 hours to account for technical difficulties, the client interview, and debrief with AVLF staff attorney.
      • Volunteers will not need the entire 2 hours so may pick overlapping time slots.
    • WHAT: The current pandemic has caused housing problems to become worse. In the past months, AVLF phone lines have been consistently ringing from tenants who need assistance with major housing issues like illegal evictions or landlords ignoring their duty to repair for months. Now more than ever, AVLF needs volunteers to help provide quality legal services. 
    • HOW: No training or prior experience required! AVLF will send orientation video and volunteer training documents on the Wednesday before the Saturday event.
