Why are there regional pro bono websites and this statewide site?
This site exists to support pro bono efforts around the state. California also offers several regional pro bono websites, including www.probono.net/bayarea.
The regional pro bono sites work to support the pro bono efforts in their local area by offering information and referrals to pro bono providers in their region and, in some instances, through the posting of current pro bono cases and opportunities. The regional sites in California include - www.probono.net/bayarea (for the San Francisco/Bay Area region) and www.probono.net/ca/socal/ (for the Southern California region) .
Many legal services organizations also offer information about their pro bono projects on their own websites; volunteers can find these organizations and their sites by searching in the Pro Bono Programs Guide on this website.
If you would like to volunteer, the link to the California Pro Bono Portal where you may register and search for opportunities is here: www.calprobono.org
