The American "civil society" is one that has been produced through generations of experiments with government policy, nonprofit organizations, private partnerships, and individuals who have asserted ideas and values.

Nonprofit charities and foundations are essential in bringing people together for significant causes. One of the most notable aspects of being a strong, well-rounded citizen comes through giving back to communities. Through organizations such as soup kitchens, thrift stores, and hospitals, we can put food in hungry bellies and hope in hungry hearts. Nonprofit attorneys play significant roles in the success of many of these organizations. I am currently planning to pursue a career in law, which will aid me in assisting nonprofit charities that require support in navigating complicated laws and regulations. As a nonprofit attorney, I will guide private foundations in managing their assets and running programs that abide with regulation laws.
