Opportunity Details | Support Asylum Seekers with Work Authorization Application!

To be eligible to legally work in the U.S., those seeking asylum must apply for an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) which authorizes them to work. The seven-page government application for an EAD is straight-forward but must be completed in English. To support migrants in completing this form, Educational Alliance plans to launch a work authorization application assistance clinic for those with pending asylum. As part of this initiative, we are seeking volunteers willing to help new arrivals complete their work authorization application.  

Bilingual volunteers are strongly encouraged but EA will provide translation support for any volunteer who needs it, through an interpreter either on-site or over the phone. Volunteer application assistants will receive training prior to their work as well as on-site support. We ask volunteers to commit to a minimum of one three-hour shift; multiple shifts or recurring commitments are strongly preferred, but not required. 

Please note we will have more dates coming soon!
