“OneAmerica staff makes it very easy to volunteer due to being an excellent organization. I feel my time is very well spent. I know how valuable this service [Washington New Americans Program] is, and how expensive and out of reach private legal services are for many, many immigrants.”

– Margaret O’Donnell
