Volunteer Activities

Employee Volunteerism

As part of the Public Defender's Anti-Violence Initiative, our office encourages staff to get involved in the community. Public Defender employees strengthen ties to the community by actively participating, on their own time, in programs that improve the quality of our everyday life.
