Erin-Grace Bouchier

• Volunteered at the ProBono.org Law Clinic for one day, assisting with consultations whilst gaining a deeper understanding of community based legal services.

• Individually shadowed a prosecutor over two days, being able to truly gain a firsthand into prosecutorial practices and case management.

• Completed a three-day job shadowing experience with a prosecutor, gaining valuable insight into the procedures and processes that are involved for legal practitioners in a Magistrate Court.

• Assisted with their foundation phase education program in the afternoon, mainly assisting on Tuesdays and Thursdays in 2024.
• In 2025, due to the time constraints of being in my fourth year of my LLB degree, I sadly had to take a step back and focus more on a fundraising role by securing valuable donations through public outreach. This has allowed me to still assist a community I have grown to love while being able to focus on my final year of studies.

Shadowed multiple prosecutors over a two-day period, observing how each prosecutor approaches a case as well as different courtroom procedures.

• Managed pet care responsibilities efficiently, guaranteeing the health and well-being of animals under supervision.
• Fed and walked pets, cleaning up after pets indoors and outdoors.
• Communicated with homeowner via phone or text.
• Safeguarded homeowner valuables, demonstrating responsibility for entrusted belongings while owners were away from their homes.

• Assisted with building dog kennels, which was an amazing opportunity to give back to an initiative that I am very fond of, while learning valuable skills.

• Ensured that their homework and other responsibilities were complete, and should they have needed assistance, it was always provided, such as assisting with creating study tools or reading through their work. Afterwards, we always played a fun and educational game until it was time for them to start getting ready for bed.

• Walked the dog on an organized weekly schedule, always ensuring the dog's well-being and keeping in contact with the owner. During the walks, the dog is able to socialize with other dogs, as well as exercise in a safe and controlled space.

• Every end-of-year break, I try to volunteer and give back before my schedule becomes filled with assignments. At SARDA, I would assist with the hippotherapy sessions with the disabled children, as well as tacking up and grooming the therapy horses. It was a lovely opportunity to have, as I am so fond of animals and helping children.
