Support UPLIFT
Volunteer
Volunteering for UPLIFT is an extraordinarily rewarding experience. Volunteers work in teams of three to four lawyers to coach middle school mock trial teams. Volunteers meet with their teams once each week for approximately two hours for 10 to 12 weeks to help students prepare for their mock trials. Volunteers are provided with all case materials and structured plans to support their coaching efforts. Teams of three to four allow volunteers to meet professional commitments when they arise with the understanding that their co-coaches will help to keep their coaching commitments.
"I have been a Maslon UPLIFT volunteer instructor since the program’s inception in 2017. It has been a truly remarkable experience for me. UPLIFT is right up there for accomplishing good things at any number of levels. It provides me with tremendous personal satisfaction knowing that we are helping the development of teenagers approaching adulthood with much improved self-confidence and a better understanding of how the legal system that has been in the news almost every day in this country actually operates."
– Cooper Ashley, Maslon Alumnus
