Celebrating National Volunteer Week with PILI’s Pro Bono Volunteers

National Volunteer Week, celebrated this year from April 19-25, 2026, is an opportunity for PILI to recognize and acknowledge our own outstanding and dedicated volunteers. Without our vast network of volunteers throughout Illinois, PILI would not be where it is today. Today, we want to spotlight some of our dedicated pro bono volunteers who meet the moment by using their own time and talents to increase access to justice through PILI’s pro bono opportunities.

Why do you do pro bono work? I do legal pro bono work because our system is a mess and the folks who often end up a part of it simply don’t understand.  Because I have the education necessary, I feel it is my responsibility to assist those who just need to understand the process a little better.

Why should others do pro bono work?  Because we have a responsibility, just as humans who live on this planet, to both improve it for ourselves and for those around us.  Helping people is a privilege.

Why do you do pro bono work? I do pro bono legal work because my commitment to justice, my heart for underserved communities, and my values push me to use my legal skills to open doors for people who might otherwise be shut out.

Why should others do pro bono work? Others should do pro bono work because it expands access to justice while keeping you grounded in purpose and reminding you that the law is ultimately about people, not just outcomes.
