Advocacy - for immigrant rights, civil rights, and human rights, locally and nationally, in collaboration with community organizations and faith communities.
Education - to advance the dialogue on immigration issues at the local and national levels and to raise awareness about the impact of policies and legislation on the lives of immigrants living in the U.S.
The mission of JFON is four-fold: to provide high quality immigration legal services, to create an atmosphere of welcome for immigrants, to educate others around the issue of immigration, and to advocate for lasting policy change on both a local and federal level.
While in most communities, the monthly legal services clinic serves as the anchor for the JFON project - it is, in fact, the most visible and tangible manifestation of the ministry - it's important to keep in mind that the JFON mission goes beyond improving the wellbeing of individual clients and families to encompass creating a welcoming and supportive community and achieving social justice.
