Pro Bono Partnership - Fairfield County

The Pro Bono Partnership is a coordination and resource center for legal professionals who want to provide volunteer legal services to nonprofit community-service organizations working with the poor and disadvantaged or otherwise providing important social services, as well as arts, civic, conservation, and environmental organizations. Its clients include organizations that work in the area of health and human services, community development, affordable housing, and neighborhood revitalization.
