Be a part of the revolutionary effort to support people facing deportation with their paperwork as they navigate a hostile immigration system. “Pro se” means “for oneself” in Latin, and in legal parlance, it refers to people who are maneuvering legal proceedings without representation.

This training will focus on Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS), which can provide many young people with a path to citizenship. Learn the tools you’ll need to help our young friends (under 21) who have been abused, neglected, or abandoned acquire lawful permanent residence in the U.S. No previous experience necessary. Volunteers fluent in Spanish are especially needed, but all are welcome.

Please join us to help these vulnerable children at the Pro Se Clinic!

Join us to learn how we stand with people who are pursuing legal immigration status while facing a hostile system. During Accompaniment, we join respondents (whom we call Friends) for their hearings and check-ins by appointment. Court Witnessing means going into courthouses as groups to meet people for the first time in waiting rooms. We give Friends useful information, help them with paperwork, stay present with them before, during, and after their hearings, and connect them with immediate and ongoing resources to help them fight deportation and detention.
