Happy National Volunteer Week!
This week is National Volunteer Week
RMIAN's work largely depends on the work of our volunteers. We want to take this opportunity to give thanks to our incredible volunteer attorneys, translators & interpreters and health professionals.
We are grateful for their time, energy, compassion and skills. Accessing justice is one with being treated with respect and dignity and is only possible when there are opportunities for equitable language, health, and legal services.
The heart, dedication, and most certainly knowledge and skills of our volunteers make RMIAN's work ensuring access to due process possible. Every day, volunteer efforts help people confront complex and violent deportation proceedings, sometimes while detained.
From all of us here at RMIAN, THANK YOU!

We need volunteer translators & interpreters!
RMIAN's work largely depends on assistance from our language volunteers. Quality legal representation is only possible when an attorney and client can communicate effectively, regardless of their language. If you speak English and another language and would like to help immigrant clients access justice, sign up now! Email lklafehn@rmian.org for more info.
We need volunteer psychologists & psychiatrists!
Psychological forensic evaluations help clients access the support services and systems they need and help to bolster legal defenses against deportation.
