This Toolkit was created to help legal service providers design and implement pro se legal clinics where volunteers can help eligible individuals complete and submit applications for the Family Unity Parole in Place program. The clinic model aims to help legal service providers (1) meet the needs of the community seeking Parole in Place, and (2) encourage pro bono work, while using minimal organizational resources.
The Toolkit outlines how to build a Parole clinic based on a model developed in 2021 by a coalition of organizations (including the Office of New Americans Miami Dade County, Americans for Immigrant Justice, Catholic Legal Services of Miami, HIAS, the ABA Commission on Immigration, and others) to help people from various nations seek Temporary Protected Status (TPS). The model has been adapted for various responses, including the Family Unity Parole in Place program. This Toolkit can be modified to meet the specific needs of the communities being served by the organization hosting the clinic. If you would like more information or are interested in adapting this Toolkit, please email immigrationprobono@americanbar.org.
