Member Duties : The Western New York Law Center is a not for profit law office that works to eradicate poverty by representing homeowners in danger of foreclosure as well as individuals with various consumer debt issues. In addition, the Law Center runs a small business clinic. The goal of this VISTA position is to expand our current small business clinic to include a focus on veteran small business owners. The VISTA will create materials, processes, and connections to expand our current work with small businesses to Veteran-owned businesses. Specifically, there is a need to create resource guides for the existing services and products available to local small businesses. In addition, the member will formalize several existing presentations, expand social media presence, and recruit volunteer attorneys.
