The American Irish Law Society (AILS) here at NEL|B takes part in Project No One Leaves, which is dedicated to empowering those living in foreclosed properties through community education. This is a great opportunity for students to get involved in community education, as well as make great contacts. The students over at AILS have passed along the information below about a great opportunity for more students to get involved:
This Saturday (October 1st), 9:45 a.m. at 23 Everett St, Cambridge MA next to the Harvard Campus
Students from AILS and students from other schools will be attending a training session lead by Harvard Legal Aid Bureau. This event is a great way to be introduced to the work being done at the community level. It is also a great way to become familiar with landlord-tenant and foreclosure law, how it applies, how it has evolved, and why a project like No One Leaves is necessary. Although it may be discussed on a less frequent basis, the mortgage crisis is not over and projects such as this have had success against the banks, with national mobilization as it continues to gain momentum.
For more information on No One Leaves and AILS's involvement please contact Joseph O'Sullivan at joseph.m.osullivan@nesl.edu.
Don't forget that work such as this (not for credit and unpaid) is eligible for the Public Service Transcript Notation.
