Legal Link’s Ambassador Program allows frontline staff from partner organizations to learn more about community justice work, while also receiving professional development and training opportunities.
Program Details
Ambassadors meet regularly with Legal Link staff to discuss legal navigation issues and serve as a liaison between Legal Link and their organization. There are three main components to Ambassadors’ work as a liaison with Legal Link:
- Ensure their colleagues know how to access and use legal navigation resources, including signing up for Legal Link’s trainings and attorney consults;
- Identify unmet legal needs and trends in their client community; and
- Help to keep Legal Link informed about relevant organizational updates as needed.
