| Immigration Program Volunteer | Dealing with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS, formerly the INS) can be a daunting experience that means long lines, and even longer forms. To assist newcomers through this bureaucratic maze, Interfaith Refugee and Immigration Ministries' Immigration Services Program provides clients with high quality, personal attention at a reasonable, often-negligible cost. Interfaith's Waukegan office is looking for one or two volunteers to lend a hand. Volunteers must be comfortable and confident Spanish speakers. Tasks include answering phones, greeting clients, completing simple immigration forms, etc. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 9am to 4pm. This is a wonderful opportunity to gain experience in the field of immigration law, to improve your language skills in a practical setting and to make a difference in your community. To learn more about IRIM's work in the Chicagoland area, visit www.irim.org. Please contact Maria Helena Hoyos at mhoyos@irim.org or (847) 244-4342. | Feb 16, 2010 |

The ages of the children range from kindergarten through high school. Tutoring for college entrance exams also will be offered.
