To Whom It May Concern:

I am the volunteer coordinator for the New York Legal Assistance Group (NYLAG), a nonprofit organization that provides legal help to New York?s most vulnerable and underserved individuals. We are urgently seeking a fluent Mandarin speaker for immediate placement in our Immigration Protection Unit. NYLAG?s Immigrant Protection Unit handles a comprehensive range of immigration cases including adjustment of status, non-immigrant visas, citizenship, asylum, VAWA (Violence Against Women Act) petitions, and other forms of immigration relief. The Immigrant Protection Unit also provides help to individuals with public assistance matters such as Medicaid, Food Stamps, SSI and other government benefits which are often intricately associated with an individual?s immigration needs.

The intern would assist with some very pressing cases, providing much-needed interpretation and translation for non-English-speaking individuals. The intern will work personally with clients, and become familiar with immigration practice. If the candidate has written fluency, he or she would also be responsible for translating documents related to pending immigration matters, but our first priority is finding an intern with conversational fluency. This position is part time, with a minimum commitment of about eight hours weekly.


I am wondering if you can help us locate a qualified student who might be interested in this position. Thank you for your time and assistance, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Anat Schraub

NYLAG Volunteer Coordinator
