My Nonprofit Reviews

I spent ten weeks volunteering full-time with the VRLC in the Portland, Oregon office and enjoyed every moment! I spent my times doing research for their Technical Assistant program as well as working on a presentation for the National Sexual Assault Conference.

The VRLC is a phenomenal organization that approaches sexual assault work in holistic way. Their goal of helping victims in multiple areas--such as housing, education, public benefits, and immigration--is a unique model that actually addresses the complexity of sexual assault and its impact on victims. In addition, the VRLC trains people who are working with victims everyday, such as advocates at crisis centers, to identify legal problems in order to better assist their clients.

Volunteering with the VRLC was not only an amazing learning experience, but also incredibly fun. The attorneys are passionate about the work, and their dedication and expertise makes volunteering with the VRLC a very special experience that I would recommend to anyone.
