Skyline College Community Legal Clinic

SparkPoint and the Dream Center also host the Immigration legal clinic. For more than four years, the clinic has helped bridge the justice gap by providing free access to legal services for under-resourced members of the local community including Skyline College students, employees and the public.

The Clinic is an integral part of holistic services to students. Students can receive confidential legal information on immigration matters.

“As an immigrant, I know what it feels like to be afraid, to be uncertain, and to worry about what the future holds. I hope that together with the Dream Center, Sparkpoint, and Skyline College, we can provide a safe and caring place for undocumented students, families, and community members. We are here to serve.” -Maria Segarra
