This training is designed for those who work with and serve immigrant communities and want to know more about how immigration law affects their clients and how to help.  

Basic immigration questions to be answered include:

  • What is the immigration system like and how does it affect the people I serve?
  • What happens when people are detained? 
  • What protections are available to immigrant victims of crime and survivors of domestic violence? 
  • What resources are available in the community to help? 
If you have questions, please contact Kori Jock at 206-957-8641 or email kori [at] nwirp.org.

Please note:  This training is not geared towards attorneys and no CLE credits will be offered.  NWIRP will not accept seminar registration for persons who provide legal assistance without authorization in violation of 8 CFR Part 292 and Washington State law, such as for profit “immigration consultants” and “notarios.”  By registering, you confirm your compliance with the above restrictions.

NWIRP Events

NWIRP's Anniversary Celebration is a fun reception featuring live music/entertainment, drinks and hors d'oeurves and other features along with a short program. During the program both NWIRP's Golden Door Award and its Amicus Award are presented and there is often a mini-live auction! The event helps raise much needed unrestricted funds for NWIRP's critical legal services and broadens our circle of friends. This event, historically held in fall, has moved to Spring. NWIRP's first springtime Anniversary Celebration was held on May 13th 2011 at the Experience Music Project. Photos coming soon...see photos from 2009 and 2010.

NWIRP Presents: An Evening At...  is a family-friendly reception held at a local point of interest and immigrant culture. The event gives attendees a chance to explore the intersection of NWIRP's work with its meaning in the broader community through rich cultural experience. In 2009 and 2010, this event was held during springtime at the beautiful Wing Luke Museum of the Asian Pacific American Experience.  Stay tuned for our next "Evening at..." date! See photos from our last Evening at Wing Luke here!
