I've started volunteering a ton more now that I am a lawyer. It is really nice to give back to the community.

Volunteer attorney program: this is a cool program where we do over the phone legal counseling. Most of the issues deal with housing as this is something that can be readily handled over the phone. It is really nice to help people - especially these people who really need it as often their shelter is at stake.

Mock Trial: I had a blast coaching a high school mock trial team this year. The kids work really hard and are willing to learn from you. I helped completely turn the program around from a 1-5 team last year to 4-2 and top 5 in the County. Hope to build from there and make it to the County finals next year.

Habitat: Did this in college and just recently did it a couple weekends ago. Great group.

Church groups are often a great group to work with as they tend to have some of the lowest overhead around so the money and energy actually goes directly to those in need. Church groups are definitely the best when donating money - some have under 5% overhead - Food for the Poor is a great example of such groups.

Middle School Football Coach: This was probably by far my favorite experience. I love sports and love to teach our youth. I hope to continue coaching football and look to spread to wrestling and baseball soon.
