Empowering our Future
For Schools
A DDLC volunteer can energize a classroom visit by sharing their real-life legal journey, spotlighting exciting careers in law, and leading hands-on activities like a mock trial or legal career quiz. It’s all about sparking curiosity, showing students how they can make a difference, and connecting them to tools and mentors to launch their future in law!
For Volunteers
Legal professionals can make a lasting impact by volunteering with DDLC to visit local schools and inspire the next generation. By sharing your personal career story, introducing students to the many paths within the legal field, and leading interactive activities like mock trials or career games, you’ll help spark interest and broaden their horizons. It’s a meaningful way to show students that a career in law is within reach.
For Partners
Partners are invited to join the DDLC coalition to help build and support pathways to legal careers across South Dakota. By collaborating with DDLC, partners play a key role in recruitment efforts, outreach, and mentorship—ensuring students from all backgrounds can explore and pursue opportunities in the legal field. Together, we can grow the next generation of legal professionals and strengthen justice in our communities.
