The Neighborhood Christian Legal Clinic is a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation offering pro bono legal representation and preventive law education to low income families, including immigrant families. We accept clients whose income is at or below 125% of the federal poverty guidelines.

The Clinic has operated an intake site in Fort Wayne since 2007.  With the help of dedicated volunteers and AmeriCorps*VISTA volunteers, the Clinic moved forward towards the goal of opening a full-time satellite office, offering more legal representation and preventive legal education services to the low income and immigrant families of Fort Wayne.  With a grant from The Lutheran Foundation, Neighborhood Christian Legal Clinic’s Fort Wayne office became a reality during the summer of 2009.

OUR MISSION

To promote justice through legal representation and education for our low income neighbors as a way of demonstrating Christ's love.

OUR VISION

"Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Rescue the weak and needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked." - Psalm 82:3-4
