NEXT is comprised of Broward's legal and business professionals with an interest in contributing to Legal Aid Service of Broward County (LAS) and Coast to Coast Legal Aid of South Florida (CCLA) by supporting their missions and shaping their futures. NEXT works closely with both agencies' Executive Council to inform and educate professionals, who have strong, diverse relationships in the community, about LAS and CCLA and their importance as the legal "arm" for many other Broward County non-profits. Quarterly social networking events and semi-annual "meet and greet" events raise awareness for LAS and CCLA.

This innovative program merges the "social media revolution" with the traditional goals of recruiting pro bono attorneys, recognizing participants, placing cases with the private bar for handling, raising funds, and growing awareness in the community about the work Legal Aid does to meet the civil legal needs of Broward County's underserved populations. Participants are motivated to get involved through "new media" channels that are the dominant, preferred means of communication by the majority of individuals in this demographic group.


The purpose of NEXT is not only to host great events allowing the chance to network with other amazing individuals like yourself, it is to create awareness about the wonderful things Legal Aid Service of Broward County and Coast to Coast Legal Aid of South Florida do to enhance the quality of life for many of the under privileged citizens of Broward County.

Below are opportunities for attorneys and other business professionals to get involved with Legal Aid Service of Broward County (LAS) and Coast to Coast Legal Aid of South Florida (CCLA).
