Community Education Toolkit

Welcome to the Community Education Toolkit. The resources here include fliers and information sheets on common immigration law issues of concern to immigrants and communities. We encourage you to consider the many different ways in which these materials may be distributed, including law office reception areas, naturalization and DACA application workshops, and immigration forums, as well as community centers, schools, and religious institutions.

This toolkit is divided into seven topical sections: Catholic Social Teaching (CST), DACA, Family Based Integration, General, Naturalization, Removal Proceedings, and VAWA and U Visa. You can navigate this toolkit using either the navigation bar at the top of your screen or the seven icons you see on this page.

We welcome your feedback on this toolkit and its utility. Also, if you have any documents your agency has developed that you would like to share with us for inclusion in the toolkit, or suggestions for additional materials you would like us to include, please send these to national@cliniclegal.org.

The creation of this toolkit was supported by a generous grant from the Raskob Foundation for Catholic Activities, Inc.

Promoting the Dignity of Immigrants With Affordable Legal Expertise

As it has for more than 30 years, CLINIC will fight for the rights of immigrants. CLINIC trains legal representatives who provide high-quality and affordable immigration legal services. We develop and sustain a network of nonprofit programs that serve over 500,000 immigrants every year. We cultivate projects that support and defend vulnerable immigrant populations by:

Providing direct representation for asylum seekers at the U.S.-Mexico border and educating them about their rights;
Reuniting formerly separated families;
Increasing legal representation for those in removal proceedings and in detention;
Providing public education on immigration law and policies; and
Advocating for fair and just immigration policies that acknowledge the inherent dignity and value of all people.

History has taught us that people who step up can make a difference. We hope you will join us.
