Dear E4FC Friend, We’re excited to announce that E4FC is now accepting applications for our 2017-2018 Legal Advocate Fellowship and a full-time position for Legal Services Coordinator. Legal Advocate Fellowship “Many of our users come to us distressed. When I am able to give them hope that they may have a potential immigration remedy, it fills my heart with joy and love.” Our year-long program provides Legal Advocates with comprehensive immigration law training and hands-on experience analyzing cases, writing memos, and providing follow-up calls to undocumented young people across the United States. With our Legal Advocates on the front lines, E4FC has helped over 2,500 undocumented young people understand their potential immigration remedies, benefits, and rights! Read more about our online DREAMer intake Service here.

Legal Services Coordinator “E4FC has provided me with community, endless learning, and the opportunity to continue developing my leadership. E4FC is a safe space for my many identities: shifting immigration statuses, nonconforming gender, unyielding need to ask many questions, and awkward sense of humor.” Tommy Statkiewicz, Outgoing Legal Services Coordinator & 2014-2015 Legal Advocate Tommy Statkiewicz, our beloved Legal Services Coordinator and former Legal Advocate, will be exiting his staff role at E4FC this summer to begin law school.
