The Community Outreach Committee is the community volunteer arm of the Orange County Bar Association. The Committee’s goal is to assist the local community in various volunteer efforts by providing community service opportunities to the OCBA and its members.

It is our hope that the Committee’s volunteer work will help to create a positive image of the OCBA and the legal profession among those in the community.
