The National Immigration Project is a national non-profit organization that provides legal technical assistance to immigrant communities, legal practitioners, and advocates working to advance the rights of noncitizens. We promote justice and equality of treatment in all areas of immigration law, the criminal justice system, and in social policies related to immigration. Marking its 40th Anniversary Year in 2011, the National Immigration Project remains a progressive source of advocacy-oriented legal support on issues critical to immigrant rights. The Project specializes in working with and defending people who are often excluded from society, including victims of crimes, detained and incarcerated immigrants, HIV-positive noncitizens, and noncitizen survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. Our work also counteracts the profiling of individuals, as well as punitive immigration enforcement programs that violate noncitizen rights. We educate and strengthen the technical capacity of immigration professionals, while promoting public policy change through direct advocacy. Our work is based upon a foundation of over 1,000 members nationwide, including immigration professionals, legal advocates, law students, community-based immigrant organizations, and all allies of fair and just U.S. immigration policy.
RESPONSIBILITIES

The Intern may research and draft litigation pleadings, develop training materials, provide technical assistance, and participate in national advocacy campaigns.
