Thank you for your interest in volunteering with JTB for ConnectED. This summer virtual program introduces high school students to the legal field with attorney panels, presentations on different practice areas of law, discussions on the role of law in current movements, and inspires students through the stories of judges and their rise to the role. Our volunteers are essential in making our programs successful. Whether volunteering for a live or recorded session, expect to become a mentor to one or two JTB scholars!
