Mission Statement
Esperanza Immigration Legal Services (EILS) provides direct legal services, advocacy, and education to underserved immigrants and their families so they have the opportunity to participate in, and contribute to, American society.
About This Cause
EILS fulfills its mission by providing the following services: • Legal Services: EILS provides direct legal services to vulnerable low-income immigrants and their families, including Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) renewals, self-petitions for victims of domestic violence, green card applications, family petitions, and naturalization applications. • Educational Workshops and Clinics: Each year, EILS offers free public workshops and legal clinics in English and Spanish to help immigrant families thrive in the United States. Workshops and clinics provide information on emerging areas of immigration law, warn immigrants against unauthorized legal practitioners, educate young immigrants about pathways to higher education, and help families to assess their particular legal situations. • Citizenship Education: Through free citizenship education classes and related tutoring, EILS helps prepare eligible immigrants to pass the naturalization interview and exam. Given EILS’ limited resources, we target our services where they will make the greatest difference—for the most vulnerable immigrants in the community—providing consistently high-quality, personalized, and affordable legal services to low-income immigrants who have nowhere else to turn. We work closely with our clients to achieve their goals of obtaining legal status, reuniting with families, and becoming U.S. citizens. This close attention ensures that often-marginalized individuals do not slip through the cracks during the process. Our staff provides truly personalized, life-changing services in a location where many of our clients reside—making access to our services feasible by cutting out the need for transportation and extensive travel.
