Our Mission
Standing with our neighbors, Lakeshore Legal Aid fights poverty and injustice through advocacy and by providing meaningful and dignified access to the legal system.
Internal Equity Statement

-
serve clients with dignity and respect
-
support staff to thrive personally and professionally
-
work to remove systemic barriers to equity and justice
-
provide a model for other nonprofit organizations who seek to center racial equity, justice and inclusion.
