PROGRAMS
Immigration Legal Services
This program provides direct legal services and education for immigrants and their families. The services are low cost or pro bono for low-income California residents. The direct legal services include application and representation for DACA, citizenship, family reunification, lawful permanent residence, work authorization, asylum, temporary protected status, and other survivor-based benefits. The outreach and education for immigrants include Know Your Rights, Family Preparedness, and resource navigation.
Application assistance and representation for immigration benefits, Know Your Rights and Family Preparedness community info sessions and workshops, and volunteer mentorship for support in ESL and Civics preparation, accompaniment, and internships.
Church and Community Engagement
This program partners with local churches and the broader community to welcome, advocate with, and support the integration of refugees and immigrants. It equips churches with biblical and practical resources to foster a compassionate response to immigration, including tools for teaching and preaching about hospitality. Community members are invited to get involved in meaningful ways—whether by serving as a Community Advocate who raises awareness and engages with local elected officials, tutoring clients in ESL or Civics as they pursue citizenship or joining a Good Neighbor Team. These teams, made up of small groups of volunteers, commit to walking alongside newly arrived immigrant families for 6 to 12 months, offering friendship, practical support, and a pathway to community belonging.
Increased church and community awareness and understanding of refugee and immigrant experiences and greater civic engagement. Successful community integration, enhanced access to resources, and stronger social support networks for immigrants. Increased capacity to serve more clients holistically through trained and committed volunteers. Finally, stronger advocacy voice at the local, state, and national level through coordinated community action in pursuit of just and welcoming legislation impacting refugees and other immigrants.
