International Institute of the Bay Area-Oakland

Description

The International Institute of the Bay Area-Oakland office, founded in 1919, provides legal services for immigrant communities in the Bay Area, principally those in Alameda and Contra Costa Counties.

The Institute's Legal Department provides high-quality assistance to low-income immigrants. The program currently provides information and services to over 1,500 people each year from Latin America, Asia, Africa and Eastern Europe. Services include workshops and one-on-one consultations, assistance in filing family petitions and citizenship applications. IIBA-Oakland is a national leader in application assistance to survivors of domestic violence and other serious crimes under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) and the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act (U visa).

We are a collegial team, working in an atmosphere that is professional and fast-paced, yet comfortable.
