Volunteering Virtually During COVID-19
In light of COVID-19, we have temporarily paused our in-person detention work at the border. However, there are still many ways to show support and solidarity through advocacy work!

Providing advocacy where it's needed most.
The Social Work Detention Response Team collaborates with RAICES and the UT Immigration Law Clinic to provide legal support services to immigrant women and children in detention. Interdisciplinary teams of social work and law students orient migrants to the credible fear interview and asylum system, assist in their preparation for the interview, and provide emotional support to women and children undergoing this process. The team has served an average of 15 women per month for over two years.
