The Legal Aid Society of Cleveland

The Legal Aid Society of Cleveland, founded in 1905, stands out as a beacon of hope in the domain of legal representation and advocacy for those with low incomes. The organization's slogan, "Together We Can, Extend Justice," encapsulates its mission to foster justice, equity, and access to opportunity within Northeast Ohio. Through passionate legal representation and advocacy, the Society endeavors to effect systemic change, envisioning a Northeast Ohio where all individuals are free from poverty and oppression. Legal Aid strategically wields the power of the law to enhance safety and health, promote education and economic security, secure stable and decent housing, and improve the accountability and accessibility of government and justice systems. The recent Grant investment at 03 January 2024 led by the KeyBank Foundation underscores the traction and support that the organization has garnered. This investment bolsters Legal Aid's capacity to continue its mission, ultimately removing barriers to opportunity and fostering greater stability for individuals with low incomes. The ripple effect of this work extends to the broader community, contributing to a more engaged and vibrant society in Northeast Ohio.
