Rights literacy mentoring is a component of CSJ’s student-run residential homeless rehabilitation program, which focuses on providing a comprehensive care program to individuals who wish to pursue housing, work and medical care. Citizens for Social Justice needs law students to assist attorneys in formulating a handbook of information regarding the myriad legal issues typically encountered by homeless individuals. Topics to be covered this semester include child support modification and sealing/expungement of criminal records. In addition to assisting in the preparation of the handbook, student volunteers may also help to instruct homeless individuals as to its use. If you are interested in working on this project with contact Jorge Tormes and Patricia Antonucci of Three Rivers Legal Services at pblc@trls.org.
