Thank you for your volunteer service and for your commitment to serving the many unrepresented litigants in need of assistance. If you wish to schedule your volunteer service, prepare for your volunteer experience or submit a testimonial, you may do so from this page.
If you need additional information, feel free to send an email to: courtnavigator@nycourts.gov
To prepare for your volunteer service and learn what to expect in the Civil Court or the Housing Court, you are encouraged to learn more about the Housing Court's Resolution Part and watch a video about what happens there. Visit the Civil Court's General Information webpage for further information.
You can also visit the links on the website’s Representing Yourself page to learn about the resources available to unrepresented litigants.
Remember, as a Court Navigator, you are not permitted to give legal advice or become involved in any negotiations or settlement conferences.
Court Navigators commit to volunteer a minimum of thirty hours within three months of completion of the training. Volunteers serve for a block of time from 9:15 a.m. to 1:00 p.m Monday - Friday. To schedule volunteer service, contact courtnavigator@nycourts.gov and provide your courthouse preference, and the dates and hours that you are available to volunteer in the Program.
If you would like to post a testimonial about your experience as a Court Navigator please send an email to courtnavigator@nycourts.gov
