Footscray Community Legal Centre requires Volunteers!

Published 20 Aug 2012, 10:34 am, by Claire Galofaro

The Footscray Community Legal Centre requires volunteers on an ONGOING basis for community events.

Volunteering not only looks great on your CV, but it also provides hands on practical experience and is a great way to start building your contacts in the legal profession.

The events are primarily run for refugees and other disadvantaged individuals and will be held in various locations in the Western Suburbs throughout 2012. They will provide volunteers with the opportunity of understanding entities such as ASIC and the Department of Human services and Department of Justice. They also provide volunteers with face-face interviewing experience and practice at identifying issues.

We are looking for volunteers who:

- Would like experience interviewing clients

- Have great personal skills and are patient when dealing with those of a non-English speaking background

- Available for multiple events through 2012/2013 in the Western Suburbs

Lunch is provided for all volunteers, along with the chance to work with real people and really legal and financial issues. Please email your CV with a brief cover letter to Emily, emily@footscrayclc.org.au or contact (03)9689 8444 for more information.
