At Lawyers for Good Government (L4GG), we are fortunate to work alongside passionate volunteers dedicated to making a meaningful difference. This month, we’re proud to feature Hailey Tahk, our Volunteer of the Month, whose pro bono work focuses on researching and advocating for reproductive rights.
What Inspires Hailey
When asked what inspired her to volunteer with L4GG, Hailey pointed to the significance of current events.
“I remember reading the opinion when I should have been studying for the Bar exam, but it’s such an important decision that impacts the country. I knew I wanted to be a part of the change,” Hailey said.
Memorable Moments and Accomplishments
Hailey’s most memorable moments with L4GG stem from her work researching reproductive rights. She takes pride in helping provide accurate, up-to-date information, which she believes is essential in today’s evolving legal landscape.
“I’ve learned so much about the legislative process and how challenging it can be for progressive legislation to pass. It’s given me a newfound appreciation for the hard work that goes into making change happen,” she said.
The Rewarding Aspects of Volunteering
For Hailey, the most rewarding aspect of volunteering is staying engaged with the issues she’s passionate about and contributing to the community in a meaningful way.
“Being involved in this work has enriched my life by helping me feel more connected to the community. It’s not just individual work I’m doing; I’m part of something larger,” Hailey reflected.
Advice for Future Volunteers
Hailey encourages attorneys and anyone considering volunteering with L4GG to embrace the opportunity.
“Providing daily updates or research might sound like a lot, but it’s a privilege to be part of a community that trusts your work and opinions. There’s nothing to lose, only to gain,” she advised.
