CARECEN Legal Services
Need an Appointment?
Direct immigration legal services are available free of charge to CSU students and employees. Attorneys, Accredited Representatives, and paralegals are available to assist students with general consultations, DACA renewals, family-based petitions, and more.
Funding for the services is provided by the California Department of Social Services (CDSS).
CARECEN was contracted to provide services to 8 CSUs. At the moment, each campus has a team of legal staff providing free consultations and other immigration related relief.
CARECEN itself is a non-profit based out of LA, however we have offices in other areas like Van Nuys and San Bernardino. We were created in 1983 by Salvadoran refugees and have been providing access to legal services. We not only have legal services, but also are in advocacy as well as organizing.
