Donations
Your gift makes justice possible.
By donating to the GovState Social Justice Initiative Fund, you are directly supporting the Self-Help Legal Assistance Clinic and its mission to provide free legal services to individuals and families across the Chicago Southland who cannot afford legal representation.
Every contribution, at any level, helps ensure that access to justice is not determined by a person's ability to pay.

Internships
Put your skills to work where they matter most.
The GovState Self-Help Legal Assistance Clinic offers internship opportunities for students looking to gain hands-on professional experience while making a meaningful impact in the Chicago Southland community. As an intern, you will work alongside licensed attorneys and social workers, develop practical legal skills, and directly support individuals and families who cannot afford legal representation.
An internship with the clinic is more than a resume builder — it is an opportunity to be part of something larger than yourself.
