On October 12, 2021, we honored the volunteers and partner organizations that most expanded access to justice with VIP in the past year. Over 120 VIP supporters tuned in live — thank you!
For this year’s event, we went on a “road trip” to our winners’ homes and offices for one simple reason: we miss our volunteers. There are plenty of ways to catch up with us if you miss us, too: you can take a case, register for a virtual event, or just call up a VIP staff member to chat.
We had a blast catching up with our award winners in person. Please take a look at the video recap below, and read on to see the names of all winners and finalists.
