In the “Where are they now?” series, we introduce you to former IJC Fellows and share their stories — how they became a Fellow and how their Fellowship experience informs their work today.
What We Do
IJC awards promising, committed new lawyers and college graduates with two-year Fellowships, providing an unprecedented entry point into the field of immigration law.
Our Fellows join proven host organizations – with established connections to underrepresented communities – where they can make a difference for immigrants in greatest need of legal services.
We train our Fellows to become experts in immigration law, providing comprehensive skills development and sharing practices across a powerful network of partner organizations and alumni.
