At the New York, Together 2022 Gala, VOLS community came together to celebrate VOLS’ work providing free, civil legal services to New Yorkers in need and to honor pro bono leadership. Thank you to all who joined us in person and virtually!

As our city recovers from the effects of the pandemic, New Yorkers continue to face pressing legal needs. Since 1984, VOLS has been here to help, and we will continue to do so where, when, and for those who need it most. To each of the young immigrants, seniors, older veterans, small business owners, workers, children, and families we have had the privilege to serve – thank you.

“We can all be very proud of the part VOLS played and continues to play in trying to make our community a better and more survivable place for so many.”
Karen Artz Ash, Chair, Board of Directors
VOLS’ New York, Together 2022 Gala

VOLS’ partnerships distinguish and define us: Thank you to our phenomenally dedicated community partners, volunteer attorneys, and staff. We are enormously grateful as well to our Board of Directors and Pro Bono Advocates Council, our host committee and sponsors, and our Chair and honoree, Kirkland & Ellis LLP, for their exemplary pro bono leadership. Finally, thank you to Cynthia Bookhart Adams (Jefferies), Erica Blau (AIG), Yuliana Kletsun (Bloomberg LP), and Maryana Zubok (Pfizer, Inc.), for engaging us in a compelling conversation on corporate pro bono.

I hope you’ll consider becoming part of the VOLS community. A donation to VOLS extends a lifeline.

With Gratitude,
Abja
