As a non-profit, we rely on our community to help work towards our mission and keep our services accessible. Here is how to support The Refugee Children Center:
Ways to Partner
with us
Sponsorship
Opportunities
• Sponsor items or a specific program.
• Matching & financial support.
Match donations during key fundraising events throughout the year.
• Host your fundraiser
• Donate.
Legal Services
Are you an attorney or a law student that is looking
for meaningful pro bono work or legal experience?
The Refugee Children Center can use your help!
Unlike defendants in the criminal justice system, immigrants facing deportation in immigration court are not provided free attorneys by the government.
Unrepresented immigrants face the insurmountable challenge of navigating the complex immigration system alone and are far more likely to lose their cases than those who can obtain attorneys. The need for pro bono legal representation far exceeds that which The Refugee Children Center is able to provide to our participants.
There are also opportunities to get involved in a more limited capacity,
such as volunteering at pro se workshops.
Volunteer
Are you passionate to make a difference
in someone's life?
The Refugee Children Center is always looking to recruit talented and passionate volunteers to work with our organization! If you are interested in getting involved.
Please join one of our monthly New Volunteer Information and Registration Sessions, held virtually every first Monday of the month.
If you have additional questions, please contact Frida Aldapa
or fill-out the volunteer form.
