The Rise Foundation by Envoy, Inc.

Immigrants are already part of our communities: raising families, supporting local economies, and helping build a stronger future for everyone. ·       22.9 million immigrants are active in the U.S. workforce ·       74% of foreign-born residents are proficient in English ·       18% of immigrants are age 65 or older, nearly identical to the 17.7% of U.S.-born seniors These numbers reflect more than just data. They represent neighbors, caregivers, and community members who are contributing every day, but who may still face legal barriers to stability. At Rise by Envoy, we ensure that those who are eligible for legal relief have access to trusted, free support that helps them move forward with clarity and dignity.

That includes: ·       Submitting over 100 applications ·       Hosting free consultations for low-income and humanitarian clients ·       Supporting people navigating legal systems after trauma or displacement Behind every case is a person working hard to build a stable life.

At Rise by Envoy, we believe no one should be held back by confusion or fear when they are eligible for legal immigration relief under U.S. law. Each year, thousands of people in the U.S. have a legal right to seek protection, work authorization, or permanent residency, but many never apply because they can’t afford a lawyer, don’t know where to start, or are afraid of making a mistake. We provide trusted, free legal support to people already living in our communities, including asylum seekers, DACA recipients, and survivors of violence, who are eligible for relief under U.S. law. Our work helps people move forward with stability, clarity, and dignity. Because when people are supported through complex systems, they’re better able to care for their families, contribute to their communities, and build lasting roots. Learn more at risebyenvoy.org
