Volunteer with Us. Inspire the Future.

Volunteers in JTB programs play a crucial role in fostering an interest in law and supporting the academic and professional growth of our scholars, from middle and high school to the undergraduate and law school levels.

Join Us!

Ways to Get Involved:

  • Volunteer With JTB

    We have several volunteer opportunities that become available throughout the year in different cities. Opportunities are available for legal professionals at every stage of their careers and across various practice areas.

    Currently, in-person volunteering is offered in Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, Nashville, Richmond, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington, D.C.

    Virtual volunteering opportunities are also available, including live or pre-recorded sessions, as well as reviewing applications and writing samples at their convenience.

  • iLead Law and Leadership Conference

    iLead is an exciting one-day program designed to introduce high school students to the legal system, expose them to careers in the legal field, and provide them with the practical tools necessary to achieve their educational goals.

    JTB is searching for volunteers to help make the program successful!

  • Summer Legal Institute (SLI)

    SLI is an exciting multi-day program designed to introduce high school students to the legal system, expose them to careers in the legal field, and provide them with the practical tools necessary to achieve their educational goals. There are multiple volunteer opportunities available.

    All volunteers should be engaging, prepared, and excited to work with high school students interested in law! 

  • ConnectED

    This summer virtual program introduces high school students to the legal field with attorney panels, presentations on different practice areas of law, discussions on the role of law in current movements, and inspires students through the stories of judges and their rise to the role.

    Whether volunteering for a live or recorded session, expect to become a mentor to one or two JTB scholars! 

  • Ready. Set. Law.

    This program is a partnership between JTB and UIC Law’s Rising Attorneys Inclusive Summer Experience (“R.A.I.S.E”) to prepare undergraduate students for the law student experience. Students will explore the skills required to succeed in law school and gain exposure to legal career paths.

    The program includes an admissions presentation, participation in a 1L course, a conversation with a panel of law student leaders, and the opportunity to meet with a federal judge.
