We coach, we encourage, we inform, and we advocate for each client with the U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Service (USCIS) - from application to Oath of Allegiance.  We submit requests for waivers of the USCIS application fee and for special consideration for clients who are older or who have a disability. The Project Citizenship community includes over 1,000 attorney volunteers and many local organizations who partner with us. Our clients have a remarkable 95% success rate in achieving citizenship.

In the 81 years since our founding, the goal of the Indianapolis Legal Aid Society (Indy Legal Aid) has remained constant:  to provide consultation, education, advice, and representation across a wide range of legal issues, most frequently in the areas of housing, guardianship, adoption, and family law. Indy Legal Aid provides legal assistance that benefit the most vulnerable members of the Central Indiana community: the elderly and persons with a physical and/or mental disability, children and their caretakers, and low-income individuals who otherwise would not receive legal help.

We conduct and support legal research that tackles the world’s most pressing problems.

Support our mission to conduct legal research that tackles the world's most pressing problem, and to build a global community of legal scholars who work to protect the interests of future generations. You can get in touch with us to understand how your gift can help us reach these goals.

We currently focus on four cause areas: Law and governance of advanced artificial intelligence, synthetic biology, institutional design, and meta-research. Our research is influenced by the principles of effective altruism and the longtermism paradigm.

- Our Goals -
Foundational Research: Our primary goal is to conduct foundational research. By doing so, we aim to determine which problems legal researchers should work on in order to tackle the world’s most pressing problems. We refer to this as “meta-level research.” We also conduct research on the identified problems, which we call “object-level research.” Our approach focuses on the protection of future generations.

Field Building: We aim to establish “legal priorities research” as a new research field. In particular, we aim to introduce longtermism – the view that the primary determinant of the value of our actions today is how those actions affect the very long-term future – to legal academia. We want to convince more legal academics to work on research projects that positively shape the long-term future.

Community Building: We aim to build a global community that shares our concern for the long-term future. We want to bring together researchers and policy-makers at every level of seniority. We also aim to educate a new generation of researchers on how to use the law to protect future generations.

Informing Policy: In order to inform policy decisions, we are committed to engaging in non-research activities and to conducting research that could positively shape the long-term future while also having near-term policy implications. We also encourage top legal talent to work in policy and bring a longtermist perspective to policy-making.

MWH supports all survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, & human trafficking and provides outreach & prevention programs.

For nearly fifty years, Middle Way House has been providing services to people in crisis. Today, Middle Way House provides empowering services such as emergency shelter; a 24-hour help and crisis line; on-scene advocacy; support services; and transitional and permanent housing solutions to support survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking. Middle Way House also touches the lives of community members through our outreach education and prevention programs. Middle Way House serves the following six counties throughout south-central Indiana: Monroe, Greene, Lawrence, Owen, Morgan, and Martin counties. 

At Middle Way House, we believe that acts of domestic and sexual violence, and our society’s tolerance of them, are expressions of deeply rooted oppression in our culture. Consequently, Middle Way House cannot hope to end violence without doing the hard work of changing the culture, addressing gaps in legislation and enforcement pertinent to crimes of relationship and sexual violence, and demanding equity in our social and economic arrangements.

Therefore, Middle Way House will facilitate the participation of its staff members in community-based study and advocacy groups, commissions, councils, projects and activities designed to promote inclusion, equality, and a secure and peaceful community. In its internal operations, Middle Way House will strive to be a model of the transformation it envisions in the larger community.

Middle Way House believes that survivors are never to blame for the harm that is done to them.

Therefore, Middle Way House staff and volunteers are non-judgmental in their interactions with victims/survivors.

Middle Way House believes that appropriate services for victims/survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking can only be provided on a free and confidential basis.

Therefore, there will be no charge for services of any kind. Staff and volunteers will maintain information in the strictest confidence. Agreements between staff and clients to release information will be specific with regard to content, recipient, and duration as well as easily rescindable. Staff will strive to minimize requests for information that are intrusive and irrelevant to health and safety.

Middle Way House believes that the decision to seek help and the very fact of survival are indicators of courage and strength.

Therefore, staff and volunteers work from a strengths-based perspective, helping those who seek Middle Way House’s assistance to identify, believe in, and use their abilities to meet the needs they have identified. Middle Way House staff and volunteers will not assume they know what is best for the individuals they are serving; they will provide the best information and resources they have to support survivor’s efforts to make informed decisions. Staff members will act to support individuals only as their support is requested.

Middle Way House believes that acts of relationship and sexual violence are about perpetrators’ need for/belief in their right to power and control over others.

Therefore, Middle Way House staff will work to create and maintain environments free of violence-in any form.  All rules and requirements governing the behavior of those who access Middle Way House services will be necessary to the maintenance of safe and sanitary conditions.  Middle Way House staff and volunteers will be mindful of the need to be respectful and empowering in all communications with the people who seek our services as well as with each other.  The power inherent in staff and volunteer positions will be acknowledged and appropriate boundaries maintained.  So far as possible, decision-making will be by consensus and based on careful analysis of information provided by all those with a legitimate interest in the outcome of the decision-making process.

DC KinCare Alliance supports the legal, financial and related service needs of relatives who raise DC children in times of crisis.

Fueled by high rates of parental incarceration, gun violence, addiction, and mental health problems, some 9,000 DC children live in homes with “relative caregivers.” DC KinCare Alliance is the only organization focused solely on serving these caregivers, who rise to the occasion when parents are not able. They often live at the margins of economic stability yet face an uphill battle in a system designed for traditional families, one that expects relatives to step in without aid. A team of lawyers works to support them (usually grandmothers; often disabled themselves), offering free legal representation and education, as well as assistance with obtaining identification and advocacy in acquiring effective health and mental health care, financial supports, and other services for the whole family. The only organization in DC focused on this population, DC KinCare Alliance helps those who have opened their homes and hearts to children in need.

Military Children's Six Foundation is a 501 (C)(3) organization based in Washington, DC. It received its nonprofit status in 2019.

Military Children's Six Foundation (MC6) is a 501 (C)(3) child-centric advocacy and humanitarian organization based in Washington, DC. Our advocacy works to ensure that children’s rights are considered in government laws, policies, budgets, communities, and programs.  

Military Children's Six Foundation Executive Director, and Founder is Colonel Adrienne Schaffer Esq., (Ret. USA), who has spent over three decades of military service and over three decades as an attorney representing the rights of children.

An independent advocate, such as through the office of the ombudsman for children or a child rights-focused non-governmental organization, like the Military Children's Six Foundation serves to represent the best interests of children and youth, independently of political structures.

The definition of a Military Child extends beyond what has been a commonly accepted understanding as children of currently or previously serving members of the military, which includes Active Duty, Reservists, the National Guard, and Veterans World-Wide.

Today, the definition of the Military Child has been expanded by the Military Children's Six Foundation to include the children of Men and Women (Civilians) who have been forced to take up arms in military conflicts, whether in war, a military invasion, or a special military operation in defense of their country's sovereignty, liberty, and quality of life. 

MC6 Humanitarian Team (MHT) believes that the infliction of war and military aggression upon children must be considered a violation of their basic human rights and can have a persistent impact on their physical and mental health and well-being, with long-term consequences for their development. The experiences that children have to endure during and as consequence of war are in harsh contrast to their developmental needs and their right to grow up in a physically and emotionally safe and predictable environment. 

Mental health and psychosocial interventions for war-affected children should be multileveled, specifically targeted towards the child's needs, trauma-informed, and strength and resilience oriented. Our Mobile Team 2 (MT2) provides psychological support which provides immediate supportive interventions that focus on providing basic physical and emotional resources and care to children to help them regain both external safety and inner security. More below.

Our Humanitarian Mobile Teams
Mobile Medical Team 1 (MMT1) looks to deliver emergency health supplies, provide trauma care and where possible vaccinations. 

Mobile Team 2 (MM2) looks to provide Psychological Support. 

Mobile Protection Team 3 (MPT3) looks to prevent family separation, mitigate gender-based violence, communicate the risk of mines and war remnants and address psychological effects of war.

Obviously, supporting children also entails enabling and supporting parents in the care for their children, as well as providing post-migration infrastructures and social environments that foster mental health. Given the recent events in Ukraine with millions on the flight we are dispatching teams to Poland, and we would like your support. We will continue to advocate for the increased mental health needs of children in the actual situation. War does not only affect those children directly exposed, but also those indirectly impacted through mass media bringing the pictures of war into their homes. Children cannot protect themselves against the themes addressed in the news and omnipresent pictures of war on televisions, in newspapers and on social media. Perceived anxiety of war in parents might lead to a loss of sense of security and enhanced anxiety in children.

Your support is "Your Voice That Matters." We don’t want to just throw resources at the problem. “Our team really wants to identify what are the specific needs of the people on the ground and try to resource and fill those needs.” We partner with local community organizations, faith-based organizations to ensure resources are targeted and reaching those in need. Partner with the Military Children’s Six Foundation.

In 1966, The Legal Aid Society of Roanoke Valley (LASRV) became Virginia’s first staff-model legal aid licensed by the Virginia State Bar and Virginia’s first program to receive Office of Economic Opportunity funding. 

From the very beginning, LASRV attorneys took on some of the major impediments that prevented the poor from accessing the legal system. LASRV attorneys successfully challenged state child removal from parents without a hearing, improvements to area courthouses for disabled parties and witnesses, and challenges to unauthorized welfare liens and work requirements.

As a non-profit law firm that provides FREE legal services annually to more than 1,000 low-income clients a year across five counties and the cities of Roanoke and Salem. Civil legal services include housing, family, employment, consumers, and domestic violence.
