COLPM's new website will help with the work of keeping our Fellows connected. With social networking support, simple tools for staying in touch, space for sharing documents and photos and resources to support committee, we will be able to market the organization and highlight the great work being done by our volunteers. In addition, the site is going to be the workhorse that will collect member dues, support streamlined event registrations and collect payments. 

Pardon our dust as we are still under construction. But we invite you to look around and see what we've started.

InnovAction Awards

HOW TO ENTER

Access to Justice

One of the opportunities available to College Fellows is to volunteer to help perform on-site evaluations of Legal Services Corporation (LSC) grantee programs to ensure these programs provide high-quality legal services. The site visits are a wonderful opportunity to “give back” and help improve the capacities of legal aid organizations in the United States.
