“The Power of Pro Bono – Providing Civil Legal Services for Individuals in Poverty in the Dayton, Ohio Region”
Service above self extends beyond physical labor—it also includes the gift of time, talent, and professional skill. Summer Hawks, Executive Director of the Greater Dayton Volunteer Lawyers Project, will share how volunteer attorneys and community partners are providing free legal help to those who cannot afford representation. From protecting families in crisis to helping individuals rebuild their lives after hardship, GDVLP’s work embodies the Rotary ideal of service that uplifts others. Summer will also discuss how members of the Dayton community can join in supporting this mission to ensure access to justice for all.
