REPORTS TO : Assistant Director of Client Services

As survivors of domestic violence, human trafficking and sexual assault, our clients are particularly vulnerable to the exploitation that befalls many undocumented immigrants in the United States. Combining client-centered and culturally competent lawyering with our holistic approach to client empowerment and advocacy, NYAWC’s clients lives are forever changes by our representation and care. The NYAWC legal department helps offer immigration relief. Since its development in 2011, The Legal Department of the New York Asian Women’s Center has represented over 100 women and children in their applications for legal status in the United States.

We seek an enthusiastic, compassionate, and fiercely dedicated advocate to lead our newest department in its next stage of development.

The legal department is an integral component of our work, ensuring that our clients have an advocate and voice before USCIS and can live free from deportation.
