The Legal Outreach educational program serves low-income, mostly minority, and/or first generation urban youth from underserved neighborhoods in New York City. Our law-based curriculum focuses on providing our students with the necessary tools to achieve at a high academic level and gain the confidence and social skills to pursue their professional goals. Our goal is to provide social and academic support to our students so they can matriculate to competitive colleges and pursue their career interests. Through our support and their motivation, our students can fulfill a larger goal to diversify professional fields and foster the next generation of diverse leadership.
