  About the Program

  Within the past three years, more than 150,000 unaccompanied children have come to the United States risking a harrowing journey without a parent or legal guardian; often to escape abuse, mistreatment or persecution in their countries of origin. Once in the United States, the majority must face immigration proceedings without a lawyer. KIND is a movement of pro bono lawyers and volunteers committed to providing fair, competent and compassionate legal counsel to unaccompanied immigrant children in the United States.

  This training will provide an overview of the basics of removal proceedings for children and an introduction to appearing in Immigration Court. Legal remedies, including asylum, special immigrant juvenile status and victim’s visas, will be discussed. Participants will be prepared to take on the representation of an unaccompanied immigrant child under the supervision of a KIND attorney.

  Presenters: Yohana Valdez Toff and Gilda Holguin, Esq., Pro Bono Coordinating Attorneys, KIND-Newark
