The Supervising Attorney is part of the Sex Workers Project (SWP) and Free to Be Youth (FYP)
Project Legal team. The Supervising Attorney works with the Directors and legal staff of both projects in
order to ensure high quality immigration legal services for SWP and FYP clients. The Supervising
Attorney strives to foster a trauma informed culture and service provision model rooted in harm
reduction, anti-oppression, and human rights.
SWP and FYP are independent projects that are part of the Urban Justice Center. SWP provides free
immigration legal services to people involved in the sex trades and survivors of human trafficking,
including those with complex and criminal legal issues. SWP analyzes cases using the intersection of
criminal law and immigration law to ensure legal strategies that minimize the risk of deportation,
detention, or inadmissibility. The majority of our clients are Spanish speaking LGBTQIA migrants from
Latin America and the Caribbean. FYP is a legal services, systemic advocacy, and community education
project that focuses on the legal needs of homeless and street-involved lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, and questioning (LGBTQ+) young people (up to age 24) in New York City. FYP advocates for LGBTQ+
young people living in poverty on a wide range of issues, including safe and affirming access to shelter,
benefits, accurate identification documents, employment, and legal immigration status.
