As a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI), this program will help ensure that they have access to the legal help they might need to pursue their education,\u201d said Interim Superintendent\/President Dr. Jack Kahn.<\/p>\n<p>Izabel Solis, Supervisor of Counseling Services at Palomar, has helped coordinate the program at the college.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a participant in this program, Palomar will support the coordination of services for our students, by providing information and hosting workshops for them to become more familiar\u201d with the complex legal issues surrounding immigration in the U.S., Solis said. \u201cWe are the bridge to connect students with the agency.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the California Community Colleges Chancellor\u2019s Office, \u201cCalifornia is home to an estimated 2.5 million undocumented immigrants, and &#8230; DACA recipients will contribute $460 billion to the U.S. economy in the next decade.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are a Hispanic Serving Institution, and a lot of the surrounding communities are Latino. But it\u2019s not just for the Latino community,\u201d Solis said. \u201cIt\u2019s for any student who is undocumented and wanting to find out their options, or for DACA students needing help to renew their paperwork.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The legal services are provided free of charge to the student, but any applicable fees payable to the federal government are still the student\u2019s responsibility, under the terms of the program.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe student schedules a consultation, and if the attorney feels that there\u2019s a case or they can do something for the student, they will do the paperwork and continue to meet with them,\u201d Solis explained. \u201cAt our last meeting with Jewish Family Service, they were already serving a lot of our students. I know our counselors and I have made referrals, so yes, students are taking advantage of this program.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Students who are interested in receiving any of these services are invited to contact Jewish Family Service at <a href=\"mailto:helsimmigration@jfssd.org\">helsimmigration@jfssd.org<\/a> or 858-637-3345, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jfssd.org\/our-services\/refugees-immigration\/higher-education-legal-services\/\">visit the website<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new program connects undocumented students at Palomar with Jewish Family Service of San Diego, which will provide free legal consultations.
