Become an ENOUGH Advocate
Together, we’re helping students say ENOUGH. Enough to being kept in the dark about their rights after experiencing sexual violence. Enough silence. Enough shame. Enough worrying and wondering.
The ENOUGH Pro Bono Network is an opportunity for individual attorneys and firm-wide pro bono programs to make an impact in the movement against campus sexual violence. Part of our broader initiative to End Sexual Violence in Education (ESVE), ENOUGH is the nation’s first network of pro bono attorneys dedicated solely to helping college student survivors of sexual and gender-based violence. Pro bono attorneys can provide services for students both remotely and in-person.
What We Do
As an ENOUGH Advocate, you can help student survivors learn their rights, understand their school’s policies and procedures around reporting and investigating sexual harassment and sexual assault, weigh their legal options, and move forward on whatever path they chose. Pro bono attorneys can choose to conduct client intakes, provide brief services, and/or provide short or long-term representation of student complainants in their Title IX procedures.

About the Pro Bono Attorneys Network
- Opportunities for individual attorneys or firm-wide pro bono programs interested in supporting student survivors of sexual violence

- Technical support, weekly office hours, and mentorship from ERA’s Pro Bono Coordinating Attorney and a team of expert mentors

To complete your training, we’ll ask you to take a short training assessment.
