Need volunteers for the Community Legal Clinic that Catholic Charities will be hosting in Kingston on Oct 12th. The event itself is an opportunity for immigrant members of the community to have a free, confidential legal screening and consultation with an attorney.  They also receive “Know Your Rights” information and a resource guide for other services in the county, immigration related and otherwise.  No legal experience required, but must speak Spanish!

We are also always looking for dedicated volunteers, specifically Spanish speakers, to assist on the day of the event.  It is a great opportunity for students to gain valuable learning and professional experience working with a non-profit at a large-scale, community-based event.  In the past, we have had students join us to fulfill service-learning requirements or gain experience and make connections.  Because of the direct contact any volunteer would have, it also helps participants feel more connected to the communities in which they live.  Regardless of language ability, if you have students or colleagues that would be interested in joining us, please feel free to pass along my contact information.  They can also sign up directly online at the link below:
