The Arab Resource and Organizing Center (AROC) has 2 staff attorneys and one BIA accredited paralegal, and provides immigration legal services for low and moderate-income Arab and Muslim immigrants in the SF Bay Area. A founding member of the San Francisco Immigrant Legal Education Network, AROC is a multicultural immigration law and social justice center based in San Francisco. Our mission is to build, nurture, and empower the Arab-American community, all communities of color, immigrants and low-income people in the SF Bay Area. By providing legal services and empowerment skills, we seek to enable members of our diverse communities to assert their legal rights, oppose all forms of injustice, and exercise self-determination. In addition to legal services, AROC also provides case management services.
