VOLUNTEERS

PLEA provides understandable, useful information to the people of Saskatchewan. To accomplish our mandate, PLEA relies on volunteers to speak at presentations throughout Saskatchewan and assist us in several other ways.

The high demand for PLEA services means that many of our existing volunteers have to be called on more than once a year. While we are grateful for those who do volunteer, we are always seeking to increase this number.

PLEA requires volunteers in the following areas: Speakers Bureau presentations (for private organizations and special interest groups); School Law (presentations in school classrooms); media appearances; and publication editing.

Volunteers have the opportunity to increase positive public exposure while helping communities learn more about our legal system. If you are currently a PLEA volunteer we thank you for your efforts.

If you are already a volunteer please consider updating your information with us by filling out the volunteer form. If you are interested in becoming a PLEA volunteer, any assistance you could offer would be most appreciated.
