VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

Volunteer Program

Community Legal Aid advertises volunteer applications for the Fall term in August of each year.  Winter term volunteer positions are advertised in December of each year.

As a caseworker, you communicate directly with clients, opposing parties, court staff and our community partners. You conduct legal research and draft correspondence pertaining to your client files. 

Returning as a senior caseworker, you will be responsible for the tribunal or court advocacy of files in your assigned group. Our senior caseworkers appear before the Ontario Court of Justice, Superior Court – Small Claims Court and the Landlord and Tenant Board.

Groups meet once a week at a set group time for a two-hour period. Volunteers are expected to conduct their work throughout the week, and beyond their set group time depending on file requirements.
