Centre Safe (formerly Centre County Women's Resource Center) Civil Legal Representation Project

The Civil Legal Representation Project (CLRP) at Centre Safe provides free legal assistance, advice, representation, and referrals to victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking in Centre County, including women, men, people who are LGBTQ+, students, immigrants, and the elderly.

The main areas in which we provide legal assistance include: divorce, custody, child/spousal support, Title IX cases, sexual assault cases, protection orders, and immigration matters.

These areas of the law often present complicated and emotionally difficult issues to deal with. In order to achieve the best possible outcome, it is important to have an attorney who is experienced in these areas, and one who understands the unique dynamics of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking.

The CCWRC CLRP is looking for pro bono attorneys to help them provide services to low income victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking in Centre County. Areas of assistance may include: divorce, custody, child/spousal support, Title IX cases, sexual assault cases, protection orders, and immigration matters.
