Entre Hermanos - QLSP

Mission: To promote the health and well-being of the Latino Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, and questioning community in culturally appropriate environment through disease prevention, education, support services, advocacy and community building.

 

Entre Hermanos' (EH) Immigration Program aims to achieve the rights of immigrants through direct legal services. Without appropriate legal assistance, members of the LGBTQ Latino community find it difficult to obtain legal immigration status. Within the new focus, our Immigration Department will also engage in advocacy and immigration policy reform through collaboration with other nonprofits, community-based organizations, government agencies, and Latin American consulates. 

 

EH's Immigration Program provides free immigration and family law consultation clinics with volunteer private attorneys. The immigration program also provides referral service to immigration service providers and pro/low bono, private immigration attorneys.
