Session Overview
We are based in New Orleans and desperately need help strategically planning our mission, goals and vision. We are working in a disaster setting, all volunteers and just received our first small grant. This would be a great project for someone who wants to help an organization grow that cares about "boots on the group" clinics in disaster impacted areas.
Nonprofit Overview
Emergency Legal Responders (ELR) is a Louisiana-based organization founded in the aftermath of Hurricanes Irma and Maria. Our team is rooted in our experience working on cases stemming from Hurricane Katrina to Hurricane Ida to Covid-19 to the BLM protests. We are attorneys, advocates, and community members who have worked for years to provide direct legal services to those impacted by emergency legal issues.
We provide direct legal aid through "boots on the ground" legal clinics, create tailored legal information slides, and train probono volunteers to help the communities they live in.
Legal emergencies are natural, social and economic. We are here to fill the "justice gap" that so many people in Louisiana live in.
