Mission Statement

Whitman-Walker Clinic legal services program is a non-profit, volunteer-based provider of HIV-related pro bono legal services. Our volunteers and staff are dedicated to the provision of direct legal services. In order to provide such legal services, the program shall engage in direct representation and advocacy, the provision of training and technical assistance to individuals and organizations, community education and outreach, law reform, and related legal efforts. The program's provision of legal services is premised on the recognition that HIV-positive status creates distinct legal needs and that addressing those needs promotes an individual's health and well-being.

Adopted by the Legal Services Program Operating Committee in 1993.
