Immigrants Rising is an organization that provides a host of resources and support for undocumented young adults. More recently, they launched a mental health career program for undocumented professionals in California where they provide select participants with supervision, training, and an opportunity to accumulate hours towards obtaining a professional license in California, among other benefits.

Here are the eligibility requirements:

“Have direct knowledge of and personal connection to the undocumented experience (DACA is not required to apply)
Have completed a master’s degree in social work, counseling, marriage and family therapy, or related mental health field
Have an unexpired Associate Clinical Social Worker (ASW), Associate Marriage & Family Therapist (AMFT), or Associate Professional Clinical Counselor (APCC) registration given by the California Board of Behavioral Sciences (BBS)
Provide proof of malpractice insurance at the start of the program
Demonstrate commitment to providing mental health services to the undocumented community
Commit to approximately 15 hours/week (first-year participants) or 20 hours/week (second-year participants) during the program”

The deadline to apply is June 29, 2025, at 11:59pm PST
