American Bar Association (ABA), Children's Immigration Law Academy (CILA)

CILA is an expert legal resource center focused on children's immigration matters. CILA builds capacity for those working to advance the rights of children seeking protection through trainings, technical assistance, and collaboration.

CILA hosts a platform on its website, Pro Bono Matters for Children Facing Deportation, found at https://cilacademy.org/pro-bono/pro-bono-matters/. Organizations from across the country post pro bono opportunities to CILA's platform. The opportunities involve children's immigration cases that need pro bono assistance.
