GSU COL Pro Bono Program

Project Description:
The Georgia Asylum and Immigration Network (GAIN) is seeking volunteers to assist asylum seekers with their applications for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and Employee Authorization Documents (EADs), or work permits. TPS is a benefit that provides protection against deportation and work authorization. Student volunteers will help clients properly fill out paperwork and forms to complete the TPS and EAD applications. All materials will be reviewed by an attorney. This project is in person in the general Atlanta area, but the address has not yet been released. You will receive an email from GAIN with the exact location and further project details the week of your project.

*** All volunteers need to sign up by Monday, October 23!

How to Sign Up:
1. BY OCTOBER 23, sign up for the GAIN Pro Se TPS Clinic here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScMM37uWKdvsc3JjLJ7VGVncQq1b_V0....

2. GAIN will send an email a few days prior to the clinic to confirm your attendance and provide an orientation video and clinic materials.
