Georgia Asylum and Immigration Network (GAIN)

Asylum ProgramProgram

GAIN lawyers and volunteer attorneys represent people who fled harm and persecution in other countries. This includes harm like gender-based violence, wrongful imprisonment, and torture.

Client Care ProgramProgram

GAIN started this program in 2024 to help clients with their most important basic needs. It also connects clients with other legal and social services to help them become safer and more stable.

Coordinated Community ResponseProgram

GAIN runs short-term projects and clinics that respond to urgent needs in immigrant communities. Some clinics help people file for asylum, TPS, or work permits.

Court Watch ProgramProgram

Court Watch volunteers sit in on immigration bond hearings in Atlanta and write down what happens. GAIN uses this to understand whether bond decisions are fair. Volunteers do not need legal experience.

Detained Immigrant Legal SupportProgram

GAIN is helping fill gaps in free legal help for detained immigrants in Georgia after other local detention legal services closed.

Know Your Rights TrainingsProgram

GAIN teaches community members about their rights through education and training. This has included Know Your Rights sessions and outreach to law enforcement.

Victims of Violence ProgramProgram

S. get a lawyer for their immigration case. This includes survivors of human trafficking, domestic violence, and sexual abuse.

Volunteer with GAINProgram

GAIN has ways to volunteer for both lawyers and non-lawyers. You can take a pro bono case, help at a legal clinic, translate or interpret, or help the Client Care Team and events.
