DMRS values the time, talents, and passions that volunteers contribute to achieving our mission.  Volunteer involvement expands our capacity to meet the increasing demand for our services; it also brings new ideas, fresh perspectives, and a wealth of knowledge and skill that improve our organization and the services we provide.  We are committed to creating a warm, safe, and inclusive environment where the unique gifts of volunteers are recognized and nurtured.

  • Legal research, writing, and administrative tasks (Pre-law and paralegal students ONLY).
  • Assist the front desk receptionist by answering the phone, providing clients with basic information regarding our services, making copies, taking passport photos and processing mail.
  • Light administrative work such as filing and making copies.
  • Translate legal documents and statements from Spanish to English.
