Volunteer & Internship Opportunities

SCLS has long thrived in part with the high quality help of volunteers to support its mission of protecting Santa Cruz and San Benito's most vulnerable. We have opportunities for those seeking a future career in public interest law and for those that have skills to increase our effectiveness.  Our volunteer and internship opportunities are mutually beneficial relationships and we have supported many volunteers with advancing their individual career goals.  Once a part of the SCLS team we consider you part of our life-long family.
