Indianapolis city, IN, US • 50 - 99 Employees
Legal/Attorney

The Clinic is a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation offering pro bono legal representation and preventive legal education to low-income and new immigrant families. We accept clients throughout central Indiana and Fort Wayne whose income is at or below 125% of the federal poverty guidelines.Our Mission is to promote justice through legal representation and education for our low income neighbors as a way of demonstrating Christ's love.Our Vision is best summed up by Psalm 82:3-4 "Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Rescue the weak and needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked."Distinguishing Factors of the Neighborhood Christian Legal Clinic:*We are faith based. The Neighborhood Christian Legal Clinic was birthed for the purpose of serving the poor as a means of demonstrating the love of Christ. The love of Christ motivates our service. We believe that this motivation leads us to go the extra mile for our clients and we seek to be known as a place of refuge and hope for those who are downtrodden and disadvantaged. We do not require any sort of faith statement or evangelistic exercise from our clients or volunteers; we welcome all clients and assistance from any attorney who wishes to serve low income families by rendering quality pro bono representation.*The Clinic's accessible neighborhood locations and intentional partnership with other non-profit providers of service to low-income families distinguish it from other pro bono clinics. Low income families often have transportation issues and a downtown location can be inconvenient and intimidating. Moreover, neighborhood locations in multi-service settings with other non-profit providers, government, and churches render our service more holistic; we serve the same clients/patients and can refer and coordinate our services. We are always looking for volunteers, so please check out www.volunteer4justice.com to find out more!
