Mr. Hunt is currently involved in pro bono legal work for the YMCA of Pittsburgh, Camp Kon-O-Kwee/Spencer and children who are dependents in the Children in Youth Services program.

"Pro bono legal work helps to keep you in touch with the importance of the legal profession in our community. Lawyers are uniquely positioned to have a positive impact on our community in many ways. Many of the things that we can do in the pro bono context cannot be done by anyone else, so if not us…who?," said Mr. Hunt.
