Aspire's Unique Impact

Aspire focuses on providing services to immigrants of moderate and limited means, especially those with pressing humanitarian needs, including unaccompanied minors, LGBTQ people, and survivors of domestic violence, trafficking, and torture.

Only about half of immigrants facing removal proceedings in Colorado are represented (51%). While representation rates are higher for children (61%), Aspire firmly believes that no child should ever have to appear before an immigration judge without counsel.

Clients who are represented by an attorney are over ten times as likely to prevail in their cases than those who are unrepresented.
