OUR SERVICES
Immigration Legal Services
We provide free and low-cost legal and social services for low-income immigrants and people fleeing violence and persecution.
Support Services
Our caseworkers help clients access public benefits, mental health support, cash assistance, and other social services to help with their basic needs.
Community Education & Organizing
Our ESL, citizenship, and leadership classes help immigrants gain knowledge and skills to build new lives while engaging in policy change.
Mayan Voices Outreach Team
We help Mam and Latinx communities learn about workers’ rights, COVID-19 safety, preventing hate crimes, and how to access services.
OLAS LGBT Sanctuary Project
Facilitated by bilingual mental health professionals, OLAS provides retreats for Latinx LGBTQ asylum seekers to jumpstart healing and build community.
Amplifying Sanctuary Voices
We offer arts-based workshops, community events, and educational exhibits that use storytelling to deepen empathy and promote public dialogue around immigration.
As a member of the immigrant Maya Mam community, I saw my parents struggle, but with the help of organizations like EBSC, they overcame the challenges. That is why I am now helping others on their path to citizenship.
