Find Your Immigration Ally + JOBOPP at Mira Costa & Coastline College

[Aisha Conner-Gaten, MSLIS]

Did you know that Community College staff, faculty, and students can get legal assistance regarding immigration?

As part of its work, the Immigrant Legal Resource Center | ILRC  has launched an awareness campaign in support of the Higher Education Legal Services Project, which brings legal service providers together who can help qualified community college students, faculty, and staff with case support, DACA renewals, citizenship applications, permanent resident renewals, advance parole, and more complicated needs such as Special Immigrant Juvenile Status and Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) protections.

Simply visit FindYourAlly.com. Choose your status, be it student, faculty, or staff member, and you can even view the page in different languages. Enter your zip code, too. Next, you'll see a list of campuses near you where the services are offered, as well as which ones offer online consultations.
