Our Work

Imagine that you're a young child from Central America who has just arrived in the US after an arduous journey. 

Fleeing abuse at home, you’ve been sent to live with family members you’ve never met before. You don’t speak English. ​​You've never traveled outside your hometown before, let alone to another country. 

What might you need help with in that situation?
​

• Avoiding deportation in immigration court?
• Enrolling in school?
• Learning the language?
• Getting your homework done?
• Finding a doctor or therapist?
• Learning your way around?
• All of the above and then some? 

Project Libertad is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization 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.
