The MICA Project is a community organization that works with low-income immigrants to overcome barriers to justice. We provide legal services for immigration cases, and we also work in immigrant communities to create partners through educational and outreach activities. By working with the MICA Project, dozens of immigrants are reuniting with family members, obtaining legal status, and avoiding deportation.
The MICA Project is seeking candidates for our Grantwriting Intern position. The Grantwriting Intern will have responsibility for composing 1-2 complete grant applications during the internship. No prior grantwriting experience is necessary (while preferred), but familiarity with some aspects of grantwriting or nonprofit management would be helpful.
The Grantwriting Intern needs to have excellent written communication and editing skills, organizational and time management skills, an interest in nonprofit management or fundraising, and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively.
This is an unpaid internship position. We are happy to work with academic institutions to facilitate opportunities to obtain credit or university-sponsored stipends. Internship hours will be spent primarily on-site, but we provide flexible scheduling and can accommodate some off-site work hours.

Mission Statement
The Migrant and Immigrant Community Action Project (MICA Project) is a community organization committed to working with low-income immigrants to overcome barriers to justice. The MICA Project utilizes legal services, organizing, advocacy, and education to promote the voice and human dignity of immigrant communities.
Description
The MICA Project provides legal services to immigrants and migrants in cases involving family immigration, naturalization, removal defense, and asylum and refugee issues. We strive to work WITH our clients, making sure you understand and are involved in every step of the process.
SLIDING SCALE
Fees are charged on an affordable sliding scale. Payment plans are available. Free services are available for those with serious financial need, and all of our services are provided at a discounted rate.
In certain types of cases, individuals with an attorney are four to six times more likely to win their case. We believe access to legal services is a basic component of the American commitment to access to justice. We strive to make our services accessible for low-income clients.
RESOURCES FOR SURVIVORS OF DOMESTIC ABUSE
In addition to many other types of cases, the MICA Project works with victims and survivors of domestic violence. We will soon update this page with more information. For now, click herefor a guide for writing a personal statement for a U visa application.
