ILRC's role as a national resource center has grown over the past several few years.  More and more ILRC's scope of service has expanded to include a nationally important role in advocating for the fair treatment of immigrant communities and providing daily critical support for organizations and communities across the country.

For over four years, ILRC has had the opportunity to work with America's older immigrant communities and immigrants with disabilities providing their advocates with legal strategies and advice on accommodating the special needs of their clients.

ILRC's trainings, educational materials and other support have been the primary source for much needed legal advice for many immigrant services agencies. These services help hundreds of agencies throughout the United States be more efficient and effective in assisting immigrants to become naturalized U.S. citizens and active civic participants.

ILRC's unique position has been valuable to service agencies and the INS as they work to improve the naturalization process.  Check out the latest minutes from the INS liaison committee meeting under additional resources.
