The Pennsylvania Immigration Resource Center (PIRC) is a nonprofit legal organization based in York, Pennsylvania, founded in 1996 to advance access to justice for immigrants. It serves vulnerable groups, including asylum seekers in detention and survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, by providing free, effective legal representation, legal services, education, and advocacy to help them obtain or protect their legal status. The organization educates immigrants about their legal options and advances access to justice through direct representation, coordination of pro bono assistance, and support for self-representation. PIRC emphasizes language access and seeks to strengthen capacity through partnerships with law schools and universities, along with legal training and education. A notable development in its recent history is the 2018 launch of the Immigrant Survivors Advocate Network to broaden support for immigrant survivors.
