GET INVOLVED
Volunteer
By offering your time and skills, you help ensure our immigrant neighbors don’t have to navigate a complex and intimidating legal system alone.
Volunteer Opportunity Highlight:
Accompaniment Program
AIJN works to address the barriers that immigrants face in accessing legal representation. One of these major barriers is transportation.
Through our Accompaniment Program, volunteers provide transportation, companionship, and assistance to our immigrant neighbors as they pursue pathways to legal status and comply with federal immigration requirements.
This includes:
Immigration court hearings
ICE and ISAP check-ins
Immigration legal consultations
Other required appointments
The simple presence of volunteers accompanying our clients in solidarity can make a tense and scary situation a bit easier.
Volunteers are the backbone of AIJN’s work
Volunteers support our work in many ways. Whether you’re available regularly or occasionally, there’s a role where your time can make a difference.
