Backpacks and Big Dreams: UCLI and Greenberg Traurig Launches its Second Annual Back-to-School Drive!

By June 26, 2025News

UCLI and Greenberg Traurig is thrilled to announce our second annual Back-To-School Drive, where we aim to support and uplift students across Utah. Building on the incredible success of last year’s drive, UCLI and Greenberg Traurig is proud to deepen its impact and expand its reach in 2025. This year for the first time, we are partnering with Greenberg Traurig to further the mission of UCLI’s drive. 

We would like to thank everyone who donated last year and allowed for such a success for all our partners, the Boys and Girls Club and Backman Elementary School. We are pleased to announce that our partners for 2025 will be the Boys and Girls Club, Backman Elementary School, and Meadowlark Elementary. Through these efforts, we hope to continue creating impact for these students beyond providing school supplies and work to provide pathways to understanding legal resources within the community and the possibility of a legal career. 

UCLI’s dedicated interns and ambassadors will work to organize school supplies and distribute these supplies during multiple back-to-school events where they will also share resources and information about UCLI to community members. 

Donations will be accepted until August 1st. Please donate to UCLI using this link. Your cash donations go a long way, thanks to the partnership in place with a bulk school supplier. That being said, we know some of  you may have new or lightly used supplies that fall within the categories listed below, and we welcome your drop-off donations as well.A contribution in any form will make a huge difference for a student in need! Feel free to drop off any items at the front desk of the UCLI facilities, which are in the Utah Law and Justice Center, located at 645 S 200 E, Salt Lake City, UT 84111. You may also coordinate item pick-up with UCLI staff at .

  • Backpacks
  • Notebooks
  • Pencils/Pens
  • Crayons
  • Scissors 
  • Glue sticks
  • Markers/Colored Pencils

Through the combined efforts of our community, interns, ambassadors, and partners, we hope to make a meaningful impact and empower students throughout Utah. With your support, we can help ensure that more and more children can start the school year prepared, confident, and ready to reach their full potential. 

Again, we would like to thank our partners for this year’s drive: Backman Elementary, Boys & Girls Club of Utah County, Greenberg Traurig, and Meadowlark Elementary.
