Jewish Family and Community Services of Pittsburgh

Jewish Family and Community Services of Pittsburgh is a broad-based non-profit serving those in need in the Pittsburgh region and the Jewish community at large.

Helping refugees and immigrants has been a key part of our mission since our founding. In our legal services department, we are seeking Pro Bono attorneys and law students to assist in representing immigrants, including unaccompanied minors, as they navigate a path to citizenship.

Experience in Immigration Law and Family Law is helpful, but it is not required. We are happy to train and provide general guidance.
