Intern with African Services’ Legal Department

African Services provides free immigration legal services to New Yorkers. Since ASC’s founding, our Legal Department has helped people from over 120 countries, including those from Latin America, the Caribbean, and Asia. We provide consultations or direct representation to over 1,000 eligible New Yorkers per year, with assistance offered in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Wolof. We help eligible individuals apply for naturalization, green card applications, work permits, TPS, and DACA, and we share updates on changes in immigration law and policy.

The Legal Department regularly seeks interns, as well as legal professionals interested in providing pro bono services to our clients. Multilingual speakers are a plus. Fill out our form to apply to work with the Legal Department.
