Our Partners
No one organization can narrow the access to justice gap alone. We partner with like-minded organizations committed to providing free legal services to those in need.

Do you have a passion for helping people? The CSJ understands and addresses the root causes of systemic social injustice and develops innovative, human-centered solutions for change. Our partnership with CSJ provides us ample opportunities to help people from different marginalized communities: low-income, women, LGBTQ+, immigrants, BIPOC, and other underserved individuals. MassMutual closely partners with CSJ on initiatives such as CORI Sealing and Record Expungement, Consumer Debt Initiative, Gender Affirming Identification Project (GAP), and other initiatives as they arise. All of these opportunities are for lawyers and non-lawyers. Some training is required based on the initiative.
