Why Volunteer at LISNS?
There are a lot of great reasons to volunteer with LISNS. Here are just a few:
- LISNS offers access for
everyone in Nova Scotia
to understand the law.
- LISNS empowers people to
change their lives.
- LISNS really does care.
- And most importantly -
because we can’t do it all by ourselves and we need your support.
LISNS offers Nova Scotians many programs and services, all of which require
the work of more people than are employed at the Society. We need the help of
volunteers to deliver the quality of service we offer.
