Legal Aid Center is so grateful to all our supporters and donors who helped us provide critical assistance to over 200,000 individuals last year, proving that even the smallest contributions can create meaningful change in our community. We ask you to please join us Tuesday, December 2, 2025, for the global #GivingTuesday movement by donating funds, sharing your skills, or simply raising your voice to help expand access to justice throughout Southern Nevada. Together, we can make "justice for all" a reality. You can click here to learn more about our mission and impact.
"I am at a point where I finally feel safe from my attacker, and Legal Aid Center has been instrumental in my recovery and healing."

Anyone can have an impact on #GivingTuesday! We ask you to please consider pledging your time, voice, or dollars to support righting wrongs and changing lives.
Foster the Future
We're delighted to partner with Anthem Injury Lawyers for the third annual Foster the Future initiative, which aims to collect holiday gifts and essential items for the over 3,000 children represented by our Children's Attorneys Project. Physical donations can be dropped off at the Anthem Injury Law Office (3145 St. Rose Pkwy., Suite #220, Henderson, NV 89052), and contributions to the curated Amazon wish list are very appreciated.
Advocacy & Justice Complex
The number of community members we have helped has nearly quadrupled, and our current facilities are not equipped to handle the increasing volume of cases. In response to this urgent need, we've embarked on building the Advocacy & Justice Complex—a dedicated space where survivors of violent crime in Nevada can find access to justice, healing, and support. The complex will feature three levels and 40,000 square feet to house the Resiliency & Justice Center (previously known as the Vegas Strong Resiliency Center), our Family Justice Project, and our Guardianship Advocacy Project. You can go to www.lacsn.org/advocacyandjustice to discover how to support us in transforming crime victim services in Nevada.
Supervised Practice Program
To become licensed as an attorney in Nevada, an applicant will need to complete the supervised practice component of the state bar exam by representing a real-world client under the supervision of an approved program or attorney. Although the new bar exam won't be offered until January 2027, you can complete the supervised practice component starting January 2026 through our new Pathways to Practice Program. To find details for both applicants and supervising attorneys, visit www.lacsn.org/supervisedpractice.
Donations
General donations to go directly to Legal Aid Center can be made through www.lacsn.org/donate. A statewide legal needs study found that for every $1 spent, there was a $7 return from legal aid organizations. The economic boost comes through cost savings for law enforcement, healthcare, and government, along with direct-dollar income that supports veterans, children, and people with disabilities. There's also increased revenue for businesses from the spending of those dollars by legal aid clients in the community. That revenue then supports 376 jobs for working Nevadans.
Pro Bono Project
We always have numerous family law, consumer rights, and foster care cases in need of pro bono volunteers. Experienced attorneys are also needed for our Ask-A-Lawyer events, now held over the phone. If you're interested in helping, please reach out to
Volunteer Education Advocate Program
For those with little to no legal experience, our Volunteer Education Advocate Program recruits, trains, and provides support for volunteers who are at least 18 years of age. Volunteers advocate for children in foster care who have disabilities, ensuring that their schools are meeting their needs to thrive in the classroom. To learn more, you can go to www.lacsn.org/edadvocate.
Volunteer Interpreter Program
Our Volunteer Interpreter Program pairs pro bono attorneys with volunteer interpreters who help provide legal services to low-income individuals and families facing critical legal problems that affect their basic needs. If you're interested in becoming a volunteer, please visit www.lacsn.org/interpret to learn more or sign up.
Sunny Day Fund
This fund covers expenses for everyday activities and supplies so that a child in foster care can have a semblance of normalcy and stability in their life. The Sunny Day Fund pays for small but critical requests that are not paid for by the foster family or foster care system. HELP of Southern Nevada is the administrator of the funds, which means the funds are sent to HELP and not to Legal Aid Center. Since the fund was established in 2008, we have gifted happiness and smiles to hundreds of youth in foster care thanks to this program. Visit www.lacsn.org/sunnydayfund for details.
