Safe Passage Project is a non-profit organization providing free legal services to children in New York threatened with deportation. No child should face immigration court alone. Legal services are provided either by one of our staff attorneys or by pro bono lawyers that we train and mentor. We frequently help children in Immigration Court, Family Court, the Asylum Office, USCIS, and in appeals. We seek fair, compassionate, and equal treatment of all immigrant children.
As part of this internship you can help obtain guardianship orders, custody orders, or special findings orders in New York Family Court, interview children and their relatives to assess whether they were abused, abandoned, or neglected by one of their parents, and gather proof about the danger for children in countries such as El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras.
Deadline is March 23. This is an unpaid internship, but if you secure it soon, you can apply for CCI funding by April 8.
