Meet Darcy McLean, a dedicated advocate and valued partner for over a decade!

Darcy’s connection to TIP began during her time at Georgia State Law, when she brought students to observe our courtroom process as part of an Alternative Spring Break experience focused on housing instability and education. What she saw that day stayed with her: a collaborative group of stakeholders working as problem-solvers for students and families. Today, as Director of Pro Bono & Community Engagement at Alston & Bird, Darcy continues to champion the power of legal advocacy and steady support. For families navigating a complex legal system, having someone stand beside them can make all the difference. “The clients may otherwise be going it alone through an intimidating, complex process with serious potential impact on their lives,” she says. “Your courage in standing with them in one of their most vulnerable moments is a gift, and as lawyers in a serving profession, it’s a gift we have a professional responsibility to give.” We’re grateful for Darcy’s vision, heart, and leadership in helping build a network of advocates for students and families. Thank you, Darcy! 💙
