SUPPORT SWEL
Whether time, talents or dollars, SWEL understands the great responsibility in utilizing your investment to receive the greatest return. By investing in SWEL, you will allow us to meet our mission of helping students make an informed decision when it comes to entering law school and the legal profession. SWEL offers three main contribution avenues:
Monetary Donation
Your monetary donation to the SWEL program will help provide legal internships, law school visits, program materials and additional professional development opportunities for our scholars. To make a monetary donation, please contact SWEL at swelprogram@gmail.com or use the contact page.
Employment Site
SWEL scholars receive exposure and experience comparable to that of first-year law students who are vying for clerkships with notable law firms and corporations. By serving as an employment site to a SWEL scholar you will affirm your commitment to recruiting and retaining quality talent for the Greater Cincinnati and Dayton legal communities.
To participate as a SWEL employment site, visit the employment application section and complete your employment information. A SWEL representative will contact you shortly after your application is submitted.
Volunteer
SWEL could not be the successful organization it has become today without the volunteer Judges, attorneys and legal practitioners who contribute their time as members of our student selection committee, speakers on legal topics at weekly classes, panel members addressing the financial management involved in planning for law school, and more. We are forever grateful to our volunteers and welcome any new volunteer to our SWEL family. To volunteer, please contact Elisia Triggs at elisia.swelprogram@gmail.com.
