What is AVLF's Mission and Vision?

The Atlanta Volunteer Lawyers Foundation develops and coordinates programs that provide legal representation, education and advocacy for at-risk, low income individuals by tapping the enthusiasm and commitment of volunteer legal professionals to address the unmet civil legal needs in the Atlanta community.

Our five-year vision is that the Atlanta Volunteer Lawyers Foundation is the leader in leveraging the full power, resources and passion of the legal community so that people in greater Atlanta are not deprived of basic civil legal needs without the benefit of a lawyer.

AVLF is so encouraged by the extraordinary support demonstrated by the legal community during a very challenging time!  We extend our sincere gratitude to everyone who came to the Celebrating Service Luncheon on October 30th to honor the attorneys and law firms whose commitment to pro bono work has strengthened our community and inspired so many to keep volunteering and contributing, and we particularly acknowledge the extraordinary financial  contributions announced that day by the Gate City Bar, the Atlanta Bar Foundation and the Atlanta Bar Association’s Lawyer Referral and Information Service.

We also were delighted to see so many friends, old and new, at our 18th annual Winetasting last week.  Your presence and your contribution to AVLF give us both the financial support we need to sustain our organization and a deep sense of being an integral part of the legal community.   Thank you for supporting us year after year- we hope you enjoyed your evening as much as we did!

 We have much work to do to maintain the high level of service to which we are committed, and to find continuing sources of funding so that we may meet the growing demand of the many families in our community facing hardship.  AVLF, like all of the non-profit organizations that work with low-income people, certainly have our work cut out for us: thank you for standing with us in these difficult times.
