The clinic connects immigrants to free and safe immigration legal screenings. For over two years, ActionNYC has not only been able to connect immigrant communities with a free immigration legal help in their language of choice, but has also provided them with free assistance in tracking down documents, putting their application together, and connecting them to other services such as IDNYC. As part of the ActionNYC program, “ActionNYC in Schools” provides services in schools, with the mission of offering NYC students with legal services in their schools.
