The Immigration Legal Assistance Program needs your support. Here's how you can make a difference. Contact us today.

DONATE
You have the unique opportunity to give an immigrant client the most powerful gift of all – an advocate to stand along side them through the difficult legal process. Your donation will allow Lutheran Social Service to continue to provide much-needed legal services to low-income immigrants. We greatly appreciate any donation, regardless of the size.

JOIN OUR PRO BONO ATTORNEY PANEL
Make a difference in an asylum seeker’s life by representing him or her in her asylum case! Lutheran Social Services provides mentoring and training to pro bono attorneys who agree to accept an asylum case from the project. There are many cases available, and volunteers may choose a case that fit his/her interests and experience. The volunteer will receive support from an experienced asylum attorney.

To join the pro bono panel or learn more about volunteering, please contact Julie Dahlstrom at (508) 754-1121, ext. 417, or send an email.

BECOME A VOLUNTEER INTERPRETER
Lutheran Social Services is always seeking bilingual volunteers to interpret for client meetings. This is a great way to get involved and make a real difference in a client’s life. Volunteers do not need to be certified interpreters but should be able to speak a second language fluently and feel comfortable interpreting.

We are particularly in need of interpreters who speak:

Arabic
French
Burmese
Chinese
Portuguese
Spanish
Vietnamese
