The ABA’s Children’s Immigration Law Academy (CILA) & Commission on Immigration (COI) invite you to attend our first Pro Bono Symposium! We seek to facilitate learning about pro bono program management and to feature advocates working in pro bono programs across the nation. Presenters will share their experience and expertise in pro bono programs working with volunteers and/or pro bono attorneys. This will be a virtual event, via Zoom, spread over two half days. The primary audience for this training includes staff members at legal nonprofit organizations from across the nation who are involved in the coordination of pro bono opportunities to help immigrant children and/or families facing removal proceedings, whether full time or part of your job. Others who are engaged in working with volunteers and/or pro bono attorneys are also welcome to attend. This training is not geared toward pro bono attorneys. The training will cover various topics to enhance pro bono programs including pro bono recruitment, incorporating a trauma-informed approach into pro bono programs, and creative pro bono models. We hope the ABA CILA & COI Pro Bono Symposium leaves you refreshed and with ideas to continue working with immigrant children and families with courage, competency, compassion, and creativity in pro bono programs. This training will be held on: Thursday, 9/14 from 1:00-6:00 (Eastern); 12:00-5:00 (Central); 10:00-3:00 (Pacific) & Friday, 9/15 from 11:00-4:30 (Eastern); 10:00-3:30 (Central); 8:00-1:30 (Pacific) (with a break for lunch) We look forward to seeing you then!
