Biography

Tommy Statkiewicz first joined Immigrants Rising as a Legal Services Intern in 2014, providing immigration resources to undocumented young people nationwide. After a year, he became the Legal Services Coordinator for two years, during which he led and grew with two cohorts of brilliant community leaders. He just completed his first year at the University of Washington School of Law and is interning with the ACLU Policy Advocacy team in Seattle. Tommy can’t wait to receive his U.S. passport and law school degree in 2020 so that he may begin experiencing the world beyond borders with his best friend/wife.

LCYC welcomed our first intern, Tommy Statkiewicz, in the 2020 Spring semester. Tommy engaged in much direct client work, shadowing and accompanying various attorneys to intakes, hearings, and meetings. Taking what he learned, Tommy co-presented a know your rights training with an LCYC staff attorney to a residential home for young LGBTQ+ people. Tommy also researched and wrote updates for the Washington Homeless Youth Handbook (HYH), a statewide guide for young people in crisis, consisting of multiple chapters covering various relevant topics. (Coming soon!)
