Events

This two-day virtual bootcamp will be held on Tuesday, April 22 and Wednesday, April 23, 2025 from 12:00-5:00pm EST. Register once, attend both days!

Learn the skills you need to provide pro bono support to climate-friendly causes, communities, and startups!

This unique event brings together attorneys from across the world to learn how they can engage in pro bono legal work that addresses the climate crisis while bolstering the impact of early-stage entrepreneurs, nonprofits and grassroots community organizations in the green space. Last year over 700 attorneys participated, and we anticipate an even larger turnout this year.

Together, we aim to empower legal professionals to support underserved communities, climate organizations, mission-driven startups, and grassroots movements in their fight against the climate crisis.

During the conference, we will discuss how to find pro bono opportunities and maximize your impact, and we will also provide specific instruction in the substantive skills you need to do pro bono work that makes a difference!
