Following is an exciting opportunity for students to get involved with The Access Project (TAP) as part of my Peter E. Haas Public Service Project.

This is a meaningful opportunity for students interested in social justice, legal advocacy, and community service to make a tangible impact while gaining valuable skills.

We are currently recruiting volunteers to:

1. Conduct surveys with students about the outcomes of their expungement cases and the impact on employment, housing, and other opportunities.
2. Collaborate on improving TAP’s online resources to make legal processes more accessible and user-friendly.
