Partners for Youth Opportunities

Welcome Diego!

Please welcome Diego Cervantes, a sophomore at Durham School for the Arts, who recently joined our firm as in intern through Partners for Youth Opportunities. The organization partners with the community to provide Durham youth with opportunities through mentoring, employment and educational support.  

When Mal King volunteered Crabtree, Carpenter & Connolly to sponsor a student, he learned about Diego’s interest in working in a law firm.  Diego now comes in four days a week and is learning a lot about the law practice every day.  “He is a hard worker and we are excited to have him as part of our family,” said Angie Elliott, Paralegal and Office Manager.
