Over Summer 2026, law student summer Fellows who are selected and confirmed to participate will:

• Gain hands-on experience addressing the unique needs of disaster survivors
• Complete an eight to ten-week summer engagement (300 hours of service minimum)
• Participants receive a $7,000 stipend for their service 
• Students have the option to apply for unlimited outside funding through their university or other sources
• Provide direct legal services and conduct client and witness interviews
• Engage in community outreach and education including fact sheet distribution, strategic partnership development, and presentations
• Build capacity at one's host organization through resource development and training sessions
• Virtual remote and in-person position opportunities available

This year, there are summer positions available at two of our partner legal services organizations who are accepting applications, and that currently host an attorney Disaster Resilience Fellow.
