This service is made available to Community College students to provide Legal Service help to Immigrant and Undocumented students.
The California community college immigration legal services project Provides a wide range of free immigration legal services, including application assistance , education and outreach to undocumented students, staff, and faculty on California community college campuses.The ten chosen legal services providers have committed to representing students, faculty and staff through the duration of their case, in some instances, even after they are no longer affiliated with the community college system (so long as they were enrolled at intake). A partnership with the Immigrant Legal Resource Center will also allow us to develop accurate and current immigration law and policy information that our student, faculty, and staff can access through the Chancellor’s Office, regardless of which college they attend.
Immigration Services
Free immigration legal services are available to students, staff and faculty affiliated with the Community Colleges. Priority for services is given to undocumented students, staff and faculty. The immigration legal service providers offering services at the 65 campuses have developed scheduling, intake, and reporting processes that ensure student information remains confidential and protected. While all legal providers offer legal consultations and basic immigration benefit application assistance, some providers may offer additional services.

Legal Provider Organization: Immigration Legal Defense (ILD)
Our mission is to promote justice through the provision of legal representation to underserved immigrant communities.
Immigrant Legal Defense (ILD) is a nonprofit agency dedicated to providing immigration legal services. One of the most critical aspects in the delivery of high volume, high quality legal services is an experienced team of attorneys who work efficiently together. Our team of directing and managing attorneys have worked together for many years. Our complementary expertise covering the full scope of immigration law and procedure, allowed us to represent thousands of unaccompanied minors, families seeking asylum, and individuals in detained and non-detained immigration proceedings throughout California. Together, we have launched innovative programs and partnerships that are recognized as national models for both the delivery of critical immigration legal services and advocacy. Our team has now come together to form ILD to continue providing free legal services for immigrants and families in California.
