Pro Bono Program Name: Reentry Justice: Civil Legal Needs Initiative
Type of opportunity: Direct Services - Research, Administrative
Population served: Formerly Incarcerated Individuals

About: Many reentering clients need to obtain a valid driver’s license, and some may need to resolve unpaid fines and fees to obtain the license. Pro Bono attorneys help clients navigate this complicated process which can be too large a barrier for many clients to overcome on their own.
