About this Opportunity

Mother Cabrini Immigration Legal Services (MCILS), a program of Catholic Charities of Northern Nevada, is the region¿s largest nonprofit immigration legal services provider. Our mission is to promote justice and protect the rights of immigrants through direct legal services, community education, and advocacy. We assist individuals and families in navigating complex immigration processes to obtain legal status, work authorization, family unity, and protection from deportation. Named after Mother Cabrini, the patron saint of immigrants, our program is rooted in compassion, dignity, and service. We are a trusted community partner, especially among low-income and underserved immigrant populations in Northern Nevada. Located in Reno, Nevada, MCILS is based in a diverse and growing city known for its scenic beauty, cultural vibrancy, and proximity to Lake Tahoe and the Sierra Nevada mountains. Reno is home to a significant immigrant population and an increasing number of asylum seekers, making our services more vital than ever. We are looking for someone who is organized, creative, and passionate about immigrant justice. Skills in outreach, communications, public speaking, writing, or bilingual (especially Spanish) abilities are a plus. This VISTA position is a part of Catholic Charities USA¿s Family Strengthening Program, a national intermediary project. As a member, you will meet virtually with VISTA Leaders and other VISTAs serving throughout the country, all focused on alleviating poverty. Reno offers an affordable cost of living, a strong sense of community, and endless outdoor recreation. Whether you¿re coming from across town or across the country, you¿ll find a welcoming environment where your work truly matters.
