LIA was a fantastic example of a successful, unified, and determined team who is on fire for the mission.

There is such a need for immigration reform and help, and we need people who aren't in it for their own benefit but want to help those who don't have that voice and are actually affected by the immigration process.

During my time as an Lighthouse Immigrant Advocates (LIA) intern, I learned what is possible when a group of people come together to place the well-being of their community above all else. Whether taking on the weight of someone’s story during a phone intake or performing a seemingly tedious task such as filing documents, each action in this office is done with the knowledge that this work is bringing a sense of security and stability to the lives of our neighbors.
