Volunteers support NMILC's Deportation Defense team who make biweekly visits to Cibola County Corrections Center. Volunteers must have all-day availability on the day of scheduled visits (usually Thursdays or Fridays) and must complete volunteer onboarding/detention volunteer training. Volunteers must be fluent in Spanish and English. Our programs at the Cibola County Corrections Centers take place approximately twice each month. We provide pro se assistance, consultations, screenings, and legal presentations to folks in detention. Non-attorney volunteers support this program by giving Know Your Rights presentations, helping applicants fill out forms, and providing logistical support.
All volunteers are required to complete NMILC's volunteer onboarding protocols, starting with completing this form: https://www.nmilc.org/volunteer-inquiry-form
