Project Libertad

Powered by newcomer immigrant youth and their families

Mission and vision

Project Libertad empowers newcomer immigrant youth and their families by providing essential, youth-led, and youth-centered legal and social services. 

​We envision a world where all newcomer immigrant youth have access to the legal services, social services, academic support, and leadership opportunities needed to thrive.

2022 Highlights

  • Our Executive Director Rachel was named a 2022 L'Oréal Paris Women of Worth Honoree! Project Libertad received a $20,000 grant to support our mission, and HBO Max produced a documentary about our work.
  • We launched Juntos para Jóvenes: United for Youth, a project that provides direct case management services to newcomer immigrant youth and their families.
  • We represented 80 immigrant youth in 127 immigration legal cases.*
    *Some youth may have more than one legal case opened for them.
