Program areas at VLN

Volunteer Lawyers Network (vln) leverages the talent and dedication of hundreds of volunteers through a volunteer-based service delivery model. In 2022, volunteers from law firms, non-profits, and companies delivered thousands of legal services to low-income and disadvantaged minnesotans. Through volunteers and staff, vln prevents homelessness and protects safe and stable housing, protects and stabilizes scarce financial resources, removes barriers to employment and housing, and provides access to the justice system regardless of a client's ability to pay.
