Interested in Law and Social Justice?
Project Kaulike is a great opportunity for HPU students and alumni interested in the legal profession and seeking to build a just society.
AmeriCorps
is a nationwide community service program that fosters the spirit of community
development and volunteerism across the country. The Legal Aid Society of Hawai‘i’s
local AmeriCorps program is called Project Kaulike, meaning “Justice” or
“Equality.” Project Kaulike, a key component of The Legal Aid Society of Hawai‘i,
provides legal services to Hawai‘i’s low income and disadvantaged individuals
and families.
As
non-attorney advocates, members provide assistance to clients in legal offices,
conduct outreach and education, teach legal clinics, assist clients with
application for services, and provide brief legal services under the
supervision of an attorney.
