ILCM provides pro bono services for DACA recipients, Ukrainian Relief Programs, Naturalization, U Visas, and more. With the upcoming administration, we are working to pivot to best meet the needs of the community and will update our programs as changes in immigration occur.
The Immigrant Law Center provides representation in immigration matters for low-income clients of all nationalities in the State of Minnesota. In addition to the work of our staff attorneys, ILCM has a Pro Bono Project, through which volunteers assist clients with various immigration cases.
ILCM provides volunteers with ongoing support throughout all pro bono matters. Support includes, but is not limited to:
Pre-screened cases;
Malpractice coverage;
Free training and manuals;
Intensive mentorship;
Interpreter and Translation support if needed;
Access to ILCM’s online casework resources;
Use of ILCM office space for client meetings;
Use of ILCM’s copy, postage, and fax machines for ILCM pro bono matters; and
CLE Credit for trainings and pro bono casework.
