Searching for Volunteers for the Grab-a-Coffee Program – Spring 2022 Launch

By Kayla Britt and Matt Meinel

The YLD’s Law Student Outreach Committee is continuing its flagship Grab-a-Coffee Program (“GaC”) during the spring academic semester. GaC is a statewide program that pairs law students with practicing attorneys based on their practice area(s) of interest. Discussion topics may include the attorney’s path to their current employment, what the practice is like in the attorney’s current areas of law, and any general advice the attorney may have for the student.

The program is meant to be an informal, one-time, thirty-minute meeting. While the program has been virtual for the last year, this semester, attorneys and students will be able to opt in to in-person meetings.

To make this program a success, we need you! We are seeking attorney volunteers to connect with a law student and pass on the valuable insights you have about succeeding in law school and entering the practice of law. If you would like to volunteer, please fill out this form (law students can sign up here). If you have signed up during a previous GaC session, you will need to sign up again.

Volunteers will be notified by email with more information once they are paired with a law student.

We look forward to a successful semester of networking!
