Volunteer
The Alliance for Children’s Rights relies on volunteers to carry out its mission and in order to take on such a high volume of cases each year. Our office is filled with a rotating cast of volunteers including student interns, pro bono attorneys paralegals, and caring community members. No matter your age, interest or skill level, everyone has something to contribute to The Alliance.
Volunteers may conduct client intake, work on cases and programs, perform administrative office tasks or help with whatever specific project that has the greatest need of the moment. If you would like to volunteer, please contact Diego Cartagena, Esq., at (213) 368-6010 x 127 or d.cartagena@kids-alliance.org or continue reading to learn more.
