ABOUT US

Immigrant Connection at Path to Hope ("Path to Hope") Enables access to quality, low-cost and pro bono legal services for immigrants and refugees in our community. We are also a member of Immigrant Connection's national legal network, made up of 30+ church-based legal services clinics across the United States.

Path to Hope became accredited by the Department of Justice (DOJ) on November 30, 2022.  We are the first DOJ-accredited immigration legal services nonprofit in Annapolis and the only DOJ-accredited nonprofit in Anne Arundel County (see DOJ accreditation roster).
