Pro Bono Collaborative

With generous support from the Rhode Island Foundation, the Pro Bono Collaborative (PBC) partners attorneys, law students, and community-based organizations (CBOs) to work collectively on discrete legal projects that serve these CBOs and their clients - low-income, at-risk individuals and families.

Our current partnering CBOs are Meeting Street School, Casey Family Services, Housing Network RI, Church Community Housing Corporation, Community Housing Land Trust, Children's Friend & Service RI, the Liberian Association of RI, Mariposa Center, the Institute for the Study & Practice of Nonviolence, Women’s Center RI, the George A. Wiley Center, the RI Medical Legal Partnership for Children, the ACLU, the International Institute, the Ecuadorian Association of RI, and the Friends of RI Commission on Women.
