Welcome!
Thank you for your interest in joining Immigrant Justice Corps’ expansive network of advocates!
Our Community and Justice Fellowships empower new immigration advocates with the skills and supports necessary to address the urgent need for direct legal services.
For immigrants facing the threat of deportation or pursuing lawful status and citizenship, nothing makes a greater difference than skilled legal representation. Founded from direct experience with the systemic failings of our broken and outdated immigration system, Immigrant Justice Corps mobilizes quality counsel to meet the needs of immigrants nationwide.
At IJC we:
