Global Brigades offers Legal Empowerment TeleBrigades, a virtual international volunteer program for people who care about legal access and advocacy in under-resourced communities. During a Legal Empowerment TeleBrigade, participants have the opportunity to apply and build upon their legal advocacy and research skills, foster cultural competency through virtual immersion, and with the support of our local teams, Honduras law students, and lawyers create community education deliverables to increase legal understanding. TeleBrigades use virtual meeting software and on-the-ground legal professionals to facilitate a meaningful experience for both students and our clients. This innovative program incorporates live consultations, tangible consulting deliverables, and the opportunity for an affordable legal consultation to help clients resolve their cases, many of which have been stalled in the Honduran legal system through institutional inefficiencies and the prohibitively high costs of legal services.
