Access to Justice

Why does equal access matter?

Legal issues are often a root cause of poverty.

1 in 5 Americans qualify for legal help with housing, healthcare, family relationships, and employment. Less than half will find it.

You have an incredible opportunity to provide access to justice and Jesus by volunteering at a Gospel Justice Center.
