Immigrant Justice Corps is now accepting applications for our 2016 Community Fellow class!
Immigrant Justice Corps is the country’s first fellowship program dedicated to providing high quality immigration legal services. Community Fellows are recent college graduates who spend two years conducting outreach and legal intake in neighborhoods throughout New York City and the surrounding counties. They screen low-income immigrants for legal relief and help them file applications for citizenship, green cards, DACA, and more. Community Fellows become Board of Immigration Appeals accredited representatives. Their work is directly supervised by experienced immigration attorneys.
Students who are completing their undergraduate degree by August 2016 or completed it in 2015, and who speak another language in addition to English, are eligible to apply.
Applications for our 2016 class are now open!
Please visit Immigrant Justice Corps’ website to apply.
Applications close on March 20, 2015. More details about the fellowship and application process are in the attached flyer, as well as at www.justicecorps.org. Please share this information with your students as well as recent alumni.
