How we serve

Multiple ways to engage with a vibrant community.


Pro Bono Legal Services

The Nautilus Foundation provides free legal representation to individuals and families who cannot afford traditional legal fees. By offering pro bono services in critical areas such as housing, employment, and family law, we ensure that those facing significant challenges have access to the legal support they need.


Legal Education Workshops

We host community workshops and seminars aimed at educating the public about their legal rights and responsibilities. These interactive sessions cover a range of topics, including understanding contracts, tenant rights, consumer protection, and navigating small claims court.


Affordable Legal Clinics

We organize regular legal clinics where individuals can receive low-cost consultations with experienced attorneys. These clinics provide personalized advice on various legal matters, such as drafting wills, resolving disputes, or starting a small business. By offering services on a sliding scale based on income, we make essential legal assistance accessible.

Foundation Story

Kaitlyn Smith

"They gave me the opportunity to start fresh when everything felt lost."


Kaitlyn Smith was facing one of the most challenging times in her life. After unexpectedly losing her job, she found herself overwhelmed by financial strain and looming legal issues related to her housing situation. Unsure of where to turn, Kaitlyn felt as though her world was unraveling.

That’s when she discovered the Nautilus Foundation. Through the Affordable Legal Care program, she received the guidance and support needed to navigate her legal challenges. The Foundation’s compassionate team helped her understand her rights, negotiate with creditors, and secure stable housing. With the Foundation’s help, Kaitlyn was able to regain her footing and is now on a path toward a brighter tomorrow. Her story is a testament to the impact that accessible legal care can have on individuals facing difficult times.
