The Ark Immigration Clinic at CBST is thrilled to welcome Anna Deming as our Social Work Program Supervisor, and Leesh Menard-Livingston and Ricky Camilleri as our Social Work interns. They will be helping connect our immigrant friends with social services and other resources, and advocating for our friends when necessary. Welcome Anna, Leesh, and Ricky!
We’re also very proud to announce that the Ark Clinic at CBST as an organization and Clinic Coordinator Noah Habeeb as an individual have been granted formal recognition and accreditation by the Department of Justice. This adds a new level of authority to our work, and gives us the ability to better serve our friends.
Last month, we celebrated the 15th victory for one of our friends winning asylum since our clinic began in May 2019! Many thanks to all of our volunteers and donors and cheerleaders—it takes a dedicated, passionate community to do this work successfully.
Interested in donating or volunteering? Learn more here, and be in touch with us at sanctuary@cbst.org with any questions.
