Rodfei Tzedek Action Projects

Updated: Jan 2, 2024

PSJC is excited to begin a partnership with Central American Legal Assistance (CALA), a non-profit organization that provides free legal services to Central and South American asylum seekers in New York. Beginning on Tuesday, January 23rd from 9-1:30, we will be hosting one of CALA’s monthly pro se asylum clinics. We are seeking PSJC volunteers to help CALA lawyers and interpreters serve 10-15 asylum seekers. Volunteer opportunities include:

  1. Application preparation: If you are interested in preparing an asylum application, please register as a CALA volunteer here. Please specify on the form that you are a PSJC community member and would like to participate in the PSJC-CALA clinics. No legal training is necessary and CALA provides a required online training in advance of the clinic for all new volunteers. CALA will send info re: the training at least one week in advance. You do not need to speak Spanish but it is very welcome if you do.  

  2. Food/snacks: We plan to provide snacks on the day of the clinic. If you are interested in donating or helping to coordinate this effort, please contact Rachel Danzing at rachdanzing@yahoo.com

  3. Childcare: Children are often present during the clinics and it can be hard for their parents to concentrate on their asylum applications. If you are interested in helping to watch over little ones, please contact Rachel at rachdanzing@yahoo.com. We will know one week in advance if children will be coming and this service is needed.


We hope to continue this project on a monthly basis. Please reach out to Laura Wolff at laurarscf@aol.com or Rachel at rachdanzing@yahoo.com with any questions or ideas about other ways you’d like to support this effort now or at future clinic sessions.

This is so inspiring to see the partnership with CALA I'm currently a law student hoping to volunteer with a similar organization for asylum seekers, but my demanding dissertation has been an overwhelming obstacle I've realized that getting assistance from a dissertation writing service UK is the only way to free up my time to dedicate to this important work

This is fantastic! Are there any specific language skills needed to volunteer? From my experience translating basic documents, even a little Spanish can be helpful in easing anxieties. I am really interested in being a PSJC volunteer. But will I still be able to sign up if I missed Pacman 30th Anniversary ?

Volunteering here is a meaningful way to make a difference, whether helping with applications, childcare, or snacks. For those needing a break, Infinite Craft offers a creative escape after volunteering. Combining community aid with engaging games like Infinite Craft helps balance contribution and self-care. Looking forward to more monthly clinics and volunteer support!
