The California Central Valley trip will expose students to the legal issues of communities so close to the Bay Area in which we live, but whose stories are often left untold. This trip will partner with Central California Legal Services and a potential second organization. We expect to do a combination of direct legal services assistance with policy or legal research and writing work.
The ability to speak Spanish is a plus, but is not required. In addition to providing legal assistance over spring break, students will meet with various entities in the Central Valley to learn more about the area and the work being done in the region.
