youth right to rise

We are a team of young leaders that are trained by lawyers and Immigration rights advocates to prepare families for the possibility of family separation. Contact us TODAY.

Youth Right to Rise trains young people from the Central Coast to become non-attorney Accredited Representatives who advocate for immigrant families, legally, practically, and as trusted members of the same communities they're serving. Participants learn immigration law, client services, and community organizing through real casework, not a classroom simulation.

The program is designed for young people who want a career in this work but don't have a law degree and aren't waiting around for one. Many of our participants are bilingual, grew up in mixed-status households, and already understand what families are facing before they walk through the door. We build on that.
