Volunteer with us!
Thank you for your interest in Volunteering with the Washington First Responder Will Clinic. The Clinic would not be possible without our volunteers.
We are currently accepting sign ups for our upcoming Clinic on October 17, 2026 in Downtown Seattle.
Please sign up!
For this Clinic we are scheduling a single volunteer shift, and assigning participants to volunteers on a rolling basis as they arrive. The shift is scheduled for 6 hours, although we can accommodate for time restrictions you may have. Please note any such restrictions or other questions when you sign up.
If you are an attorney with prior experience volunteering as Discussion Lead with the Clinic, we will have some openings for "experts" who are not assigned to specific clients but can float as needed to answer questions that arise during client meetings. If you are interested in this role please share your interest in the note on the sign up form. We will reach out about this opportunity.
Descriptions of the roles are below.
