Volunteers Needed: Rolling Meadows Short Term Guardianship Clinic

Friday, 1/10/25, 3:00 pm – 6:00 pm, City of Rolling Meadows

North Suburban Legal Aid Clinic is partnering with the City of Rolling Meadows to assist community members with short-term guardianships. We are looking for attorneys to help clients fill out short-term guardianship documents.  Short-term guardianships are a means for parents to ensure the care of their minor children without going to court.  They can be useful if a parent is concerned with deportation, traveling out of town, having a medical procedure, or simply unavailable for a specified duration of time.   While any parent will benefit from a short-term guardianship plan, they are especially crucial given potential changes in US immigration laws. Volunteer attorneys can expect to meet with clients and complete statutory short-term guardianship forms that best reflect the clients’ wishes for the care of their children.  No experience is necessary, but all volunteers must complete a short-term guardianship training session for 1.0 hours of CLE credit HERE.

Date and Time: Friday, 1/10/25, 3:00 pm – 6:00 pm

Location: City of Rolling Meadows – 3600 Kirchoff Rd., Rolling Meadows, IL  60008
