Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) Clinic with Equal Justice Center

Students will help undocumented students and graduates (aka “DREAMers”) complete applications for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status, which, if granted, will enable them to secure protection from deportation as well as authorization to work legally.

Organization

The EJC’s mission is to empower low-income workers, families, and communities to achieve fair treatment in the workplace, in the justice system, and in our overall society—regardless of immigration status.
