Do The Math
Over 80% of our class will enter the private sector this summer.
If each of those students donates one day’s worth of their pay we can collect nearly $300,000, enough to fund 10 graduates’ salaries for their post-graduation year!

Why Donate?
It’s easy to donate! Just click here.
You know firsthand that the Harvard Law School community supports its own. Now, you have the opportunity to contribute and give back to your fellow students. By donating to One Day’s Work, Harvard’s reinstated Student Funded Fellowship, you will help support graduating students undertaking public interest projects post-graduation. And next year, that graduating student could even be you!

What Is One Day’s Work?
One Day’s Work is Harvard’s student funded fellowship program. You may not have heard of it because, despite a strong start, in the past few years it has been less than successful. The basic idea is that students working at a law firm their 2L summer donate one day’s pay to a fellowship, which will be awarded to a student entering the public sector upon graduation.
The concept is simple: each student donates one day’s worth of his or her pay so that other students, lacking funding, can work in the public sector for an entire year!
Do the math: over 80% of our class will enter the private sector this summer. If each of those students donates one day’s worth of their pay we can raise nearly $300,000, enough to fund 10 graduates’ salaries for their post-graduation year!
So, take the next step: complete this form, give back and donate one day’s pay!
The 2011-12 co-chairs are Shelley Rosenberg and Samantha Goldstein. If you are an HLS student who would like to get more involved with One Day’s Work, please email us at onedayswork@gmail.com.
