Community Legal Aid's Community Education Program seeks to empower individuals by providing accurate and useful information about important legal issues through outreach presentations and events. The Community Education Program also works to raise awareness about the need for Legal Aid in our community through the distribution of information on the causes, effects, and incidence of poverty.

Community Legal Aid offers presentations on a variety of topics in order to reach out to disenfranchised individuals and help them navigate our complex legal system. Legal Aid organizes a number of FREE presentations for community members, but if you would like to schedule a speaker to present to a specific group, please fill out a speaker request form. We can also provide presentations to professionals who work with low income populations. If you are an attorney, check out our CLE opportunities.
