The Shepherd Project© will coordinate compassionate legal, support to the unaccompanied alien children (UAC) arriving in our community after having fled their homes in Central America.CIR is relying on our close ties with the faith community, training those who already have a background in caregiving to act as Compassion Shepherds.  The Shepherd Project© will educate and engage Christians in a Biblical response to immigration, offering a practical way to minister to the immigrant community.  The project is also closely designed with the legal community to increase capacity for pro bono representation (Legal Shepherds) and mitigate the already crippling backlog in the immigration legal system.  Ultimately, we hope to use our experience working in the Triangle as a model to expand the Shepherd Project© across NC and potentially, nationwide.

CIR believes that there is a moral responsibility to help these children, using a holistic, community-based approach to meet their legal, emotional, and financial needs in resolving their current situation.  The Shepherd Project© consists of 3 major parts:  

1. Helping families navigate the legal system with preliminary intake, case management, and initial steps before connecting them with a pro bono immigration lawyer (Legal Shepherd); 
   
2. Providing financial assistance (Financial Shepherd) with coordination of legal system, fees as well as travel expenses to the EOIR Court in Charlotte (for both families and their attorneys); 
   
3. Assigning each child a trained Compassion Shepherd who will help meet their emotional needs and may accompany them through the court process.
