Students will respond to intake calls from individuals (aka “DREAMers”) seeking to apply for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status. Students will conduct an initial screen for DACA eligibility and identify clients eligible to receive assistance from the Equal Justice Center in completing their DACA applications.
