Ways to Volunteer
Join the CVLC Pro Bono Network
Our most-urgent need is for people to join our Pro Bono Attorney Network, allowing us to leverage our capacity to serve more veterans across the state. All of our pro bono attorneys receive training, if applicable, and are partnered with an experienced staff attorney to ensure a positive experience and outcome for both the volunteer and the veteran.
If you are an attorney who is admitted to the Connecticut State Bar and want to learn more about joining our pro bono network, please click here.

Tell Your Story
There is nothing more powerful than hearing your story. Whether you have been a CVLC client in the past or just feel that our work resonates with you, we would love for you to help us share information about CVLC.
There are many ways you can help:
- Be interviewed for a written story
- Speak at a CVLC event or press interview
- Talk about CVLC at one of your veteran or non-veteran affiliated events
- Write letters of support or call your government representatives to thank them for supporting CVLC and/or to advocate for bills that will make veterans lives better
Please note: if you are a current client, please talk to your CVLC attorney/contact before reaching out to us–they will gladly connect you! Veterans with current legal cases pending may be encouraged NOT to speak publicly until their legal case is resolved.
