Pro Bono Program & Student Organizations

Pro Bono Program

Columbia's Pro Bono Program helps students use their skills and knowledge outside the classroom to serve real needs. Many Columbia students perform pro bono service in their first year and most exceed the mandatory 40 hours.

Whether a student's interest is in community economic development, immigration, children's rights or education law, women's rights, environmental law, international human rights, criminal law, management of a not-for-profit organization, or any other field, the Center helps find a meaningful project at a public interest law organization or government agency.

Student Organizations

The public interest community at Columbia thrives through the work of the many student organizations and journals that focus primarily on human rights and public interest issues. Spring Break Caravan pro bono projects, speaker series, conferences mentoring programs, prison visits, and more are organized by students for other students.
