Program Description
Through free legal counsel, educational materials, and social services, our Children’s Program works with immigrant children detained by the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) at juvenile facilities in Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia.
Legal Services
We offer free “Know Your Rights” presentations, legal consultations, court accompaniment, and more to children who are detained in local ORR facilities.
Direct Representation
We represent all children we meet at local shelters who stay in local programs, as well as those who are released from the local shelters who reunify locally in areas where we provide services
Social Services
We connect the children we represent and their caregivers with resources in their communities to holistically address their needs beyond the scope of their legal case.
