Description

The Maryland Immigrant Legal Assistance Project of the Pro Bono Resource Center of Maryland (PBRC) is looking for Spanish-speaking students and professionals who can offer interpreting services for our attorney volunteers OR help with clinic facilitation of the day of logistics involved with registering clinic clients and connecting them with the volunteer attorneys.

Thousands of unaccompanied children have come to Maryland seeking safety and refuge from violence in their home counties. Many of these children have valid legal claims to stay in the United States, but require assistance to navigate the complexity of their case. A vital part of that assistance requires access to legal services in a language they can easily understand.

Interpreters can choose the scope of their volunteering commitment. A list of important legal terms will be provided to all volunteers. To get involved, take PBRC's FREE interpreting training.

Registration available at: www.probonomd.org/MILAP.
