Use Your Current Skills

As a non-lawyer volunteer, you will help provide quality legal services to individuals who don’t have the resources to pay a private lawyer. 

Under the supervision of qualified and licensed NOMAS lawyers and Accredited Representatives, you will:

• Perform legal intake interviews with prospective clients,

• Listen to prospective clients and gather important facts about their situations, and

• Help gather evidence and prepare immigration petitions and applications.

Other Details

As a non-lawyer volunteer who commits to volunteering once a week for at least two months, you will have free access to an eight-week virtual training course on the Fundamentals of Immigration Law. The course is offered every two months in English and Spanish.

Non-lawyer volunteers who complete the Fundamentals of Immigration Law course may choose to continue volunteering long-term and complete additional free training to apply for certification from the Department of Justice as an Accredited Representative.
