San Diego Volunteer Lawyer Program in downtown San Diego is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 1983 with EIN 33-0016681, operating from West A Street as San Diego County's oldest and largest pro bono civil legal services provider. The organization coordinates more than 3,000 volunteer attorneys to serve over 6,000 low-income clients annually—more than 75 percent of whom are women and children—across practice areas including domestic violence restraining orders, guardianship, tenant defense, and immigration, drawing its volunteer roster in partnership with the San Diego County Bar Association (SDCBA). SDVLP's Federal Pro Bono Project, operated jointly with the U.S. District Court, matches indigent plaintiffs in meritorious civil rights actions with participating law firms for full representation in federal court. The organization also runs court-sited clinics for unlawful detainer defense and child guardianship filings, and its Vision for Justice Collaborative assists immigrant and refugee crime victims with civil legal issues through the same domestic violence intake infrastructure used at The San Diego Family Justice Center. SDVLP's most intensive casework involves direct representation of dependent children eligible for legal permanent residency under the federal Special Immigrant Juvenile Status provision, managing full immigration proceedings from filing through adjudication.
