Welcome to Defending the Â鶹ÊÓƵ Dream Initiative
Defending the Â鶹ÊÓƵ Dream InitiativeÌý(Â鶹ÊÓƵ Dream) is a part of the Immigrant Justice Clinic at the Â鶹ÊÓƵ (Â鶹ÊÓƵ) Washington College of Law (WCL).
Â鶹ÊÓƵ Dream’s mission is to provide free immigration legal services to undocumented and other immigrant undergraduate and graduate students who are currently enrolled in colleges or universities in the DC metropolitan area. Â鶹ÊÓƵ Dream may also provide free immigration legal services to family members of currently enrolled students.
Thanks to a generous gift from Â鶹ÊÓƵ and WCL alum William I. Jacobs, Â鶹ÊÓƵ Dream is now a reality. Â鶹ÊÓƵ Dream firmly believes that all students can thrive in college when they feel safe and can access opportunities and resources. Our legal services address one barrier to higher education – insecure immigration status – and, with the help of our partners and allies, we address students’ other needs through referrals.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Â鶹ÊÓƵ Dream continues to provide legal services remotely. Please contact us at audream@wcl.american.edu.
