Blended learning students located outside Minnesota can work with the MJF staff attorney on an individual basis to identify possible volunteer opportunities. Time commitments vary and include everything from one-time volunteer opportunities to a commitment of 4-8 hours per week or more. This is a great way to meet other law students and attorneys while serving the community and learning about local legal services providers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Current Volunteer Opportunities Include:<\/h4>\n<ul class=\"default\">\n<li>observing court proceedings and collecting data for the Advocates for Human Rights;<\/li>\n<li>reviewing historical deeds to help expose structural racism with\u00a0the Mapping Prejudice Project;<\/li>\n<li>and answering questions on HOME Line\u2019s tenant hotline.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.5pt;font-family: Montserrat;color: #484d55\">Students can create an account with MJF at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmnjustice.org%2F&amp;data=05%7C01%7Cadmissions%40mitchellhamline.edu%7Ca936ee9462624022091208db469d60aa%7Cc78e5de1c8804d42ad2777da50fda66a%7C0%7C0%7C638181413984548447%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=0hwNoZiZZZfxzl%2F3UY%2B8OquVwnO7QuHz%2BK9W4pE7%2BvM%3D&amp;reserved=0\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.5pt;font-family: Montserrat\">mnjustice.org<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-size: 11.5pt;font-family: Montserrat;color: #484d55\"> and browse the whole list of available volunteer placements.
