July Volunteer of the Month: Tiffany Thai


Our capacity to increase access to justice for low-income British Columbians relies on the charitable efforts of more than a thousand volunteers each year. Behind the scenes of hundreds of volunteer lawyers serving clients in clinics, hearing rooms and courthouses throughout BC, hundreds of administrative volunteers work diligently to ensure that our clients receive the timely legal services they need. Our profiled volunteer for July is Tiffany Thai.

Tiffany came to us from New Westminster Secondary School's Work Experience 12 Program where she was required to complete 90 hours of volunteer work with us. For four months, Tiffany commuted three times a week after school to our downtown office, contributing a few hours each time.

Once she finished her 90 hour commitment, Tiffany continued to volunteer with us. Her dedication to APB is impressive, and she has set a precedent for showcasing passion for social justice initiatives. Thank you, Tiffany!

This is how Tiffany describes her volunteer experience at APB:

"When I first started volunteering at APB, I knew that I would be learning about the legal field, but I had no idea about the priceless experiences that would be gained. I recently graduated from high school and was introduced to APB through the work experience program. As a Client Call Volunteer, I get to work in a great learning environment with amazing people who support one another. Helping others is something that I have always wanted to do and being at APB allows me to do that. Volunteering here has increased my interest in the field of law, as I have learned that being part of the legal sector can be greatly beneficial to others."
