Our Commitment to Diversity Vermont Legal Aid believes that diversity produces a more dynamic, creative, and thoughtful community. We support diversity of thought, culture, and life experience among our staff and our community. We believe that everyone in Vermont should have equal and fair access to legal services. We work hard to be accessible, welcoming and to provide some level of legal services to as many as we can. We are dedicated to helping those who face undue barriers to participation in the U.S. legal system, who are not familiar with the legal system, and/or whose first language is not English.
