The organizations on the chart include:


"I was enrolled in the Parents as Scholars program and had frequent problems getting help with childcare, transportation and books, services that are part of this program and that I needed to be successful.
When I called Maine Equal Justice, they were able to tell me exactly what the rules said about my rights and my responsibilities as a Parents as Scholars participant. With this information, and the support of Maine Equal Justice, I felt confident and empowered to advocate for myself. Occasionally, when I couldn’t make any progress, Maine Equal Justice would get involved.
Having Maine Equal Justice in my corner gave me what I needed to succeed, finish school, and get a good job. Now I use my advocacy skills to help people who have experienced domestic abuse.”
