Free Immigration Presentations for Churches, Nonprofits, and Community Organizations

Immigration Education Presentations for Community Groups and the Public

At Powers Immigration Law, we believe that accurate immigration information should be accessible to everyone. Attorney Tanya M. Powers regularly provides free educational presentations for churches, nonprofits, schools, community organizations, civic groups, and individuals who want to better understand the U.S. immigration system and immigration issues frequently discussed in the news.

​

These presentations are offered as a public education service. There is no charge for most presentations, and there is no expectation that attendees become clients. Our goal is simply to help people better understand how the U.S. immigration system works, separate fact from fiction, and gain a clearer understanding of the immigration issues affecting individuals, families, employers, and communities throughout the United States.

​

Presentations are designed for a general audience and explain immigration concepts in plain language. Whether attendees are immigrants, employers, educators, faith leaders, community volunteers, or simply individuals who want to better understand immigration issues making headlines, presentations are tailored to provide accurate, practical, and nonpartisan information.

Important Information About Our Presentations

These presentations are educational in nature and are intended to provide general information about immigration law and policy.

​

Because every immigration case is unique:

  • We do not provide individual legal advice during presentations.

  • We do not answer case-specific questions in a public setting.

  • Attendance at a presentation does not create an attorney-client relationship.

  • Individuals seeking advice about their specific circumstances should schedule a private consultation with an experience immigration attorney.
