SPOTLIGHT ORGANIZATION

Rosie's Place was founded in 1974 as the first women's shelter in the United States. Their mission is to provide a safe and nurturing environment that helps poor and homeless women maintain their dignity, seek opportunity and find security in their lives. This mission guides the weekly, drop-in General Advice and Referral Clinic at Rosie's Place, a place where talking to a lawyer is as easy as coming in to get a cup of coffee. If you are interested in helping to demystify the legal system and connect women with the next best step to resolve their problem, this is a great opportunity. No specific expertise needed, just a willingness to put your critical thinking skills to work to help a woman in crisis with brief advice and referrals.
