ILCM and Education

ILCM believes a key part to providing effective legal service is education, and is one of the primary providers of immigration-related legal education services in Minnesota. ILCM's staff conducts low-cost educational and training sessions, including CLEs, on a variety of subjects regarding immigration-related matters. Presentations are tailored to meet the needs of each individual group and provide accurate and up-to-date written materials where appropriate.

No Second Chance: a crime prevention curriculum for youth, parents and teachers

No Second Chance was created specifically for non-citizen immigrant youth and the people that work with them to offer an understanding of current immigration policies and practices, and to prevent deportations. Additionally, No Second Chance confronts myths and misconceptions surrounding deportation laws in the immigrant community. By teaching the laws of this country, and the consequences of breaking them, we help deter youth from criminal activities and eliminate avoidable deportations in the immigrant community. No Second Chance offers valuable information for students, teachers, parents, and anyone that directly works with the non-citizen immigrant community.

Immigration 101: an education curriculum for students, educators and professionals

Immigration 101 provides education and information on immigration law, policy, and process to immigrant and non-immigrant students, as well as professional and advocacy groups. Immigration 101 covers not only the basics of immigration status and how to gain citizenship, but also the statistics, myths, and facts of immigration in Minnesota and the United States. Immigration 101 is appropriate for middle and high school aged students.  This presentation is valuable for educators, administrators, professionals, and others that work with or have an interest in understanding immigration or the immigrant communities of Minnesota.

Specialized Trainings

ILCM is able to provide specialized trainings for individual audiences regarding immigration law, policy, and systems.  Such groups may include non-immigration lawyers, judges, law enforcement, immigrant advocates, health care professionals, educators or any groups or organization with an interest in understanding immigration and understanding specific immigration issues as they relate to their profession. Please contact our Education Coordinator at education@ilcm.org for more information.
