Green Card Workshop Volunteers Needed
In partnership with Exelon Corporation and Asylee Women Enterprise, the Esperanza Center will be hosting a free adjustment of status clinic on Tuesday night, March 11 and Saturday morning, March 15. This clinic will help refugees and asylees apply for permanent residence (green card), an important step on the path to US citizenship. More volunteers are needed to match the demand for this clinic. Non-attorney volunteers are needed on each date to help clients assemble documents, check paperwork, fill out immigration forms, and provide language interpretation (Amharic, French, and Kinyarwanda).
