Project Goals:

The Immigrant Children's Advocacy Project is a human service and policy advocacy program dedicated to advocating for the best interests of immigrant and refugee children who are alone in the United States. We're working to develop a national network of Child Advocates for unaccompanied and separated immigrant and refugee children and to promote consideration of best interests in all decisions affecting unaccompanied immigrant children in the United States.

Through the Immigrant Children's Advocacy Project, law students and bilingual volunteers are trained to serve as friends of the child or Child Advocates. Their role is to figure out what brought the children to the United States and advocate on their behalf. The Advocates get to know the children, help sort out their story and help identify their eligibility for asylum or special protective visas. The Advocates help ensure the best interests of these most vulnerable children.
