MBF Fellows Fund in
Action
Summer may feel like a
long time ago, but the experiences of the Massachusetts Bar
Foundation's 2012 Legal Intern Fellows remain fresh. Julia Hall,
Rachel Smit and Kristen Wekony spent their summers interning at
legal services organizations, providing direct legal services to
vulnerable and indigent clients. The MBF is so grateful for their
work and hope you will enjoy reading about their experiences.
The MBF thanks its Fellows, and the Smith Family Fund, whose
contributions funded these opportunities.

Wekony's internship reports.

MBF seeks new Fellows
The MBF believes you will find your foundation
involvement as rewarding as the current Fellows do.
"Frankly, for every hour or dollar I've put into the [MBF grant
review] process, I've gotten far more back in terms of experience,
satisfaction, and an appreciation for the work that needs to be
done to fulfill the promise of justice."
