Idaho Volunteer Lawyers Program presents an outreach program called Soundstart. It is designed to educate parents about legal issues before a crisis arises.

Soundstart was developed to address the legal needs of young, low income parents , as they start their families. Soundstart focuses on prevention, helping provide information and services whenever possible, before problems arise. The idea is to educate parents about the need for getting court orders and to connect them with IVLP or other organizations to assist them. Soundstart materials have been developed by family law attorneys and are presented to groups of parents and sometimes staff of organizations by volunteer lawyers. The topics include issues such as custody, paternity, child support, wills, powers of attorney, guardianships and adoption.
