Project details
What we need
- Designs for one piece of marketing or communications collateral (e.g., fact sheet, case study, event invitations)
- Templates with accurate, print-ready specifications
- Note: Please post an additional project if more than one piece of collateral is needed
What we have in place
- We currently have a copy of our last annual report, available for reference, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have designated staff to discuss the mission of the campaign and answer designer questions, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $3,002 , allowing us to allowing VLJ to use more staff resources to continue providing direct, free legal services to thousands of New Jersey residents each year.
Volunteer Lawyers for Justice (VLJ) seeks assistance with the organization and design of our annual report. Although VLJ will remain responsible for writing the narrative of the report we would like assistance with the final design and organization of the report including advice on presentation, photos, cover art, how to display funder information, etc.
Due to limited resources, VLJ tries to release an annual report every two years.
Project plan
Our mission
VLJ seeks to improve the lives of economically-disadvantaged adults, children, and families in New Jersey by empowering them with tools, advice and pro bono representation with the goal of securing fair and equal treatment within the legal system.
What we do
We provide free legal counsel and direct representation for at-risk individuals facing civil legal issues. We also run a number of clinics, including:
- A Bankruptcy Clinic, which aids low-income individuals with Chapter 7 bankruptcies (con-sponsored by Merck and Lowenstein Sandler).
- A Divorce Clinic, assisting low-income residents in obtaining a divorce. This clinic is held at the family courthouse, in partnership with Essex County Family Court. It consists of a 1.5 hour divorce seminar led by an experienced family law attorney, followed by individual assistance.
- Newark Legal Advice and Resource Clinic for Consumers (NLARCC). Due to the growing number of debt collections filed against low-income debtors, VLJ has partnered with the Essex County Court to provide legal advice and limited-scope representation to debtors representing themselves in civil court.
- Newark Reentry Legal Services (ReLeSe). ReLeSe helps low-income Essex residents with criminal records re-integrate with the community. Services include license restoration, resolution of municipal matters, child support modification, and expungement of criminal records.
What’s in it for you: If you’re volunteering through CatchaFire, we know you have an interest in contributing to your community. But why choose us?
There are plenty of worthy projects out there, but we feel VLJ would benefit greatly from assistance with our social media/other project. With over ten years of experience, we are experts in the services we provide- and legal services for those who can’t afford them are critical. We also have been unable to reach as many people as we’d like to due to our lack of social media presence, and we think everyone would benefit if we could draw the attention of a larger crowd.
