The American Friends Service Committee promotes a longstanding Quaker concern for the causes and impact of human migration. Since 1988, the Immigrant Rights Program based in New Jersey has worked to increase the protection of the rights of immigrants and refugees through legal representation, community education, community organizing, monitoring of rights, advocacy, and training. Since 1996, the AFSC has provided legal counseling and representation to thousands of immigrants, including people in detention, asylum seekers, youth, families, and survivors of domestic violence and other crimes. AFSC has also conducted training sessions and education to immigrant communities, social service providers and attorneys in New Jersey. The Legal Assistant will be part of a team providing immigration legal services to low-income immigrants in Monmouth and Ocean Counties including survivors of domestic violence and other crimes. The Legal Assistant is responsible for maintaining a client caseload, and prepares forms, applications, and letters to be submitted to the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), under the direction of the Managing Attorney.
