The Catholic Legal Immigration Network, Inc. (CLINIC), in conjunction with the Wisconsin Department of Children and Families, is pleased to announce this pilot project, the Capacity Building Mentorship Initiative (CBMI), for individuals in Wisconsin who want to qualify and apply for Department of Justice (DOJ) partial accreditation to represent clients before the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). CBMI will provide participants with access to training and mentorship opportunities so that aspiring DOJ accredited representatives can gain the hands-on experience necessary to successfully achieve partial accreditation.

CLINIC faculty will provide access to mentors, training, and assistance with preparing the application for partial accreditation as well as DOJ recognition for new agencies.
