Legal Entity Type: Nonprofit/Charity
SDG(s): Gender Equality, Good Health and Well Being
Legal Issue(s):

The StrongMinds team is seeking assistance reviewing their Employee Handbook (less than 50 pages long). It has been reviewed by an attorney before. However, they have made some relatively minor changes and would like to ensure that it still complies with applicable law.

StrongMinds is incorporated and based in New Jersey. However, they also have employees in NY, PA, MD, VA, MA, VT, IL, OH, TN, FL, CA, DC. If an attorney is not able to assist in every jurisdiction, the StrongMinds team would appreciate assistance in as many jurisdictions as the volunteer is able to accommodate.
