The AmeriCorps program at Legal Aid helps provide legal services to
Hawaii's ​low income and disadvantaged individuals and families.  

What is AmeriCorps?
​

AmeriCorps, a federal agency, brings people together to tackle the country's most pressing challenges, through national service and volunteering. AmeriCorps members and AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers serve with organizations dedicated to the improvement of communities. AmeriCorps helps make service to others a cornerstone of our national culture. Learn more at AmeriCorps.gov.​
