“The amount of encouragement, support, and love in this community inspired me and gave me hope to continue pursuing a law career.” — Julie Anne, 2024 Participant

Updated September 18, 2025: Starting Fall 2025, Immigrants Rising will offer programming for pre-law students through the Career Activity Groups. We will no longer be offering the Pre-Law Program (which includes Pre-Law 101 Webinar, Pre-Law Bootcamp, and Pre-Law Fund). If you are an undocumented pre-law student or are interested in a career in law, please check out the Career Activity Groups’ law cohort.

Immigrants Rising’s Pre-Law Bootcamp is a four-day program designed to provide undocumented young people interested in applying to law school with extra support navigating the process and a community of other pre-law students and legal professionals.
