First Friends of New Jersey and New York prioritizes the dignity and humanity of immigrants impacted by the immigration enforcement system. Through compassionate connections with dedicated volunteers, we offer support to help individuals survive detention, regain freedom, and rebuild their lives. Our services include visitation, pen-pal programs, post-release assistance, and advocacy efforts to promote justice in the immigration system.

By providing essential services such as bond assistance, housing support, and transportation, we aim to assist immigrants in transitioning back into the community with hope and compassion. Join us in making a meaningful difference by volunteering, donating, or becoming a pen pal. At First Friends, we envision a society where immigrants are welcomed, valued, and empowered.
