What We're Doing Now

Working with pro bono attorneys, we’re offering clean slate services to thousands of formerly incarcerated community college students through a partnership with the Rising Scholars Network.

We’ve built a VOLUNTEER PORTAL to house training materials and analysis apps to give pro bono attorneys the knowledge and tools they need to provide effective client service at times that fit their demanding schedules.

We’re working with OneJustice, Lava Mae, Restore Oakland, The Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, and other legal services leaders to explore new avenues for remote pro bono programs.

Our Mission

The Access Project was founded in 2019 to improve access to high-quality legal services to people of limited means. Through creative use of technology and innovative program design, we leverage the resources and enthusiasm of law firm volunteers to complement and support the work of legal services organizations.
