New Jersey's Legal Representation for Children and Youth Program
The Office of New Americans works in partnership with Kids in Need of Defense (KIND) to provide free legal counsel and social services coordination to migrant children and youth arriving to New Jersey as unaccompanied minors seeking refuge. The New Jersey Consortium for Immigrant Children is responsible for responding to client inquiries and connecting potential clients with attorneys and social workers.
Individuals seeking immigration legal assistance for an unaccompanied child or youth under age 21 can call 201-305-9217 or complete an online referral form for an eligibility assessment.
