New website connects volunteer lawyers, immigrant legal service organizations

Daily Record Staff//September 8, 2017//

The and the are sponsoring a new website called the Immigration Pro Bono Portal that connects volunteer attorneys with legal service organizations from around the state to serve immigrant communities.

The portal can be found at NYSBAProBono.org.

Funding for the portal was split evenly between the New York State Bar Association and the New York Bar Foundation. Yuriy Pereyaslavskiy, previously a staff attorney for Legal Services of the Hudson Valley, in Kingston, was hired for a one-year fellowship position to staff the online platform.

Legal service organizations list their needs on the portal and potential volunteers can search the listings, including by what area of immigration law interests them or may fill out a questionnaire and be provided a potential match by Pereyaslavskiy. Training resources are also available on the portal.
