Volunteer roles in our Immigration Justice work include:

• Rapid Response Hotline Operator Volunteers answer calls remotely using a smartphone app, with call scripts and support resources provided. Volunteers coordinate via Signal and submit reports through online forms. Spanish–English bilingual volunteers are required; speakers of other languages are welcome to attend the training and serve in an on-call support role as needed.

• IFER Fund Volunteers work in teams to coordinate and deliver emergency cash assistance to immigrant and mixed-status families impacted by immigration enforcement. Volunteers use Signal and follow reporting protocols to ensure successful delivery. Bilingual skills are helpful but not required.
