Congratulations to Our 2025 Volunteers of the Year!
In 2025, Pro Bono Partnership collaborated with more than 1,900 volunteer attorneys to assist nearly 1,000 local nonprofits with their legal needs. Volunteers are at the core of our mission, and we could not do our important work throughout the region without them.
Each year, we are proud to recognize a small group of volunteers whose commitment, expertise, and leadership exemplify the very best of pro bono service. In short, our Volunteers of the Year (VOTY) award is an important and meaningful recognition.
This yearβs VOTY honorees are longtime Partnership volunteers who have collectively addressed hundreds of nonprofit legal matters that have strengthened and empowered the nonprofits that our communities depend on to serve our neighbors.
Please join me in congratulating our 2025 VOTY honorees!

With appreciation,
