Our mission is to uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed in New York City. We bring free legal services directly to community members at host non-profit organizations throughout the city.

Attend a New Volunteer Training in order to serve at our Legal Aid Desks! This training is required for all new volunteers at Open Hands Legal Services.

We are looking for attorneys, law students and grads, paralegals, non-attorney volunteers and translators to share their skills with the communities we serve.
