About the Presidents’ Alliance
The nonpartisan, nonprofit Presidents’ Alliance on Higher Education and Immigration brings college and university leaders and campuses together on the immigration issues that impact higher education, our students, campuses, communities, and nation. As the only national organization exclusively focused on the intersection of higher education and immigration, we work to support undocumented, international, and refugee students, and advance forward-looking immigration policies and practices at the federal level, in our states, and across our college campuses. The Alliance is composed of 570+ college and university presidents and chancellors of public and private colleges and universities, enrolling over five million students.
The Presidents’ Alliance is looking for a Project Coordinator to support the new Legal Pathways that Work (LPTW) initiative. The LPTW initiative aims to provide educational resources to colleges, universities, and students about existing employment-based immigration options that may be available to college students and graduates who are in temporary or precarious immigration statuses (e.g. international, undocumented/DACAmented, displaced, humanitarian parole students) and to pilot new programs and services that would support these students and alumni.
The focus of this position is to coordinate the day-to-day operations of our soon-to-launch legal services pilot project, a grant-funded project that provides legal consultations and referrals to DACA recipients and other Dreamers through strategic partnerships with law firms across the country. The goal of the project is to move as many Dreamers as possible into stable status and a pathway to permanent residency, mostly through employment-based immigration options. The program will eventually expand to serve other college students and graduates in temporary or precarious statuses, such as international students. We anticipate launching the pilot project before the end of the year (2024).
The ideal candidate will be organized, detail oriented, professional, thoughtful, and adept at collaboration with law firm partners, non-citizen college students and graduates seeking legal services, and college and university administrators.
