Expanding access to justice takes volunteers who are willing to show up, get involved, and look for new ways to make a difference.

Shaylor Anderson, a paralegal with Alston & Bird, has become a valued and enthusiastic partner in Legal Aid of North Carolina's Raleigh Pro Bono Collaborative, demonstrating a consistent commitment to helping North Carolinians overcome legal barriers. Shaylor regularly participates in our Expunction Work Sessions, helping support efforts to give individuals with eligible criminal records a fresh start. She takes pride in her work, either staying late or taking work home after events to finish. She is eager to take on pro bono work, demonstrating the kind of initiative and engagement that makes a partnership especially valuable. We are grateful for Shaylor's enthusiasm, dependability, and willingness to put her legal skills to work for others. Volunteers like Shaylor are essential to building a strong, sustainable pro bono community, and we appreciate the energy and commitment she brings to our work. Thank you, Shaylor, for being such a wonderful partner in expanding access to justice! #ProBonoHero #AccessToJustice #LegalAidNC
