Job Announcement: Florence Project Family Separation Attorney Fellow and Legal Assistant Positions

The Florence Immigrant & Refugee Rights Project (June 11, 2018)

The Florence Project is responding to the urgent crisis of family separation by hiring a team to serve immigrant parents and children separated at the border. The Family Separation Fellow and Family Separation Legal Assistant will educate, empower, and provide legal assistance to immigrant families separated at the border–detained adults and unaccompanied immigrant children in removal proceedings in Arizona. These positions have been created in direct response to recent changes in government policies creating a zero tolerance policy at the border, and separating parents from children as an attempt to deter migration.
