Donuts with Lawyers

Calling all young people aged 12-24 in Wodonga and Wangaratta!

Knowing how to deal with a legal problem can be tricky.

Did you know lawyers can help with rental issues and homelessness? They can also help if you are having family and relationship problems.

Identifying legal issues can be difficult, and so can seeking assistance. To break down these barriers, lawyers from Hume Riverina Community Legal Service are visiting youth hubs in North East Victoria to chat, share resources and answer questions.

Come and have a donut with us:

  • Tuesday 21 May, 3.30pm – 5pm at Windbreak 3690, 198A High Street, Wodonga, and
  • Friday 24 May, 3.30pm – 5pm Synergy Youth Hub, 29 Flanagan Street, Wangaratta

These are FREE events, and bookings are not required.
