Volunteer Questions

How did you hear about this opportunity?

Do you engage in other volunteer activities and/or do other work for immigrant rights?

The National Lawyers Guild values human rights over property rights. Do you hold these same values? Please explain why or why not.

Are you most interested in:

Observing and documenting court procedures and practices and any due process violations

Providing support to individuals in immigration hearings and to their loved ones (e.g. connecting them with resources, showing solidarity by your presence at hearings)

About the same for both of the above

Our court watch program includes documenting and uploading your observations. It is very helpful to have some technology to take these steps, but not having this equipment does not preclude you from being a court observer-supporter.
