We leverage the powerful resources of the community to provide quality volunteer legal services and ensure access to justice for low-income Philadelphians. Our team recruits, trains, and supports volunteer attorneys who provide free legal services.
VIP’s team is dedicated to its mission and enjoys an outstanding team atmosphere, generous employee benefits, and a diverse work environment. Ideal candidates are passionate about access to justice, committed to volunteerism, self-motivated, and resourceful.
I’m passionate about advocacy work, and VIP provides a unique opportunity that allows me to serve my community every day.

Our Interns
My time with Philly VIP was an opportunity to work with a team dedicated to connecting the Philadelphia community and leveraging it's resources, gain exposure to a broad variety of civil legal cases, and learn about current issues as they're developing.
VIP seeks highly motivated second- or third-year law students to serve as summer legal interns supporting VIP’s work in the many areas where our clients face critical legal needs, including: family law (custody, support, divorce, adoption), homeownership/tangled title (probate, quiet title, and deed transfers), debt collection, guardianship, tort defense, and estate planning. Our legal interns function as valued members of the VIP team. With attentive attorney supervision and training, interns gain valuable skills that will help them launch careers in any sector of the legal profession or in non-profit leadership.
Priority Deadline: February 19, 2021
