"The opportunity to work directly with so many clients this summer and to hear their stories has only reaffirmed my commitment to pursuing nonprofit immigration work. I am excited to take the practical knowledge I have gained about immigration law, along with the insights I’ve gained about trauma-informed representation of vulnerable clients, into my future career as a public interest attorney."

Summer 2019
- Natalie Fulk worked at the Legal Services of South Central Michigan.
- Keith Ongeri worked at Bet Tzedek in Los Angeles.
- Adam Sopko worked at the Brennan Center for Justice.
Most of Pisgah’s clients walk in the door with many needs, only some of which have legal remedies. Empathy is essential. A referral to other organizations is often the answer. Advice as one human being to another can make a world of difference. I have been inspired to continue pursuing a career in defense of consumers and homeowners and against those who wield power irresponsibly. Thank you for your support this summer and contributing to a just end for each of these stories.

- Jacob Kovalsky worked at Bay Area Legal Aid in San Francisco.

Besides exposing me to new problems and giving me new work experience, the people I worked with at Bay Area were exceptionally friendly and my experience wonderful. None of this would have been possible without EJA’s gracious fellowship. Thank you for making this opportunity possible.
