Southern California Immigration Project (SCIP) is dedicated to delivering legal services to survivors of human rights violations by providing pro bono legal services to immigrants.
Our vision is to help put immigrant survivors of human rights abuses on a path toward safety and healing and empower them to educate others in their communities and beyond and pursue full and thriving lives.
Our programs and services include pro bono legal immigration services for survivors of persecution or torture.
