Volunteer with us.

Each year, hundreds of people like you help us carry out our mission of fighting for gender liberation across the Pacific Northwest! Our volunteers are a diverse team of individuals bound together by a desire to create positive change. Legal Voice could not provide the vital support it offers our community without the countless hours generously donated by our volunteers.

You don’t have to be an attorney to volunteer with Legal Voice. We invite you to enhance your advocacy in the Northwest by joining our team in a way that suits your interests, skills, and abilities.
