Just Neighbors: Immigration Legal Services

The mission of Just Neighbors (www.justneighbors.org) is to provide high-quality immigration legal services to low-income immigrants, asylees, and refugees in Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia; and, to build community among clients, staff, volunteers and the larger society through education, advocacy, and volunteerism. It was founded in 1996 to develop a practical response to the legal challenges immigrants face in the U.S. As a community-based 501(c)(3) organization, Just Neighbors has provided immigration legal services to thousands of low-income immigrants and refugees of all faiths and nationalities for 28 years. Headquartered in Annandale, we also have satellite offices in Montgomery and Baltimore counties in Maryland and in Warrenton, Waynesboro, and Winchester in Virginia. Just Neighbors accomplishes this work efficiently and cost-effectively with a staff of 22 and over 200 volunteers. In addition to direct legal services, Just Neighbors engages community leaders, organizations, and community members through volunteerism and education about immigration law and policies.
