PRO BONO OPPORTUNITIES
Community mediation centers in Tennessee offer Pro Bono Mediation and/or Victim Offender Reconciliation Services. Call the office closest to you and volunteer! There are also Legal Aid Offices that make Pro Bono Mediation referrals or are interested in setting that up. If you are interested in pro bono work, another resource is the TBA's Access to Justice Coordinator, Becky Rhodes, at 615-383-7421 or email Becky at brhodes@tnbar.org.
