Episode Synopsis

In this episode of Bridges We Build, we sit down with Cesar Albequerque, one of Catholic Charities’ DOJ‑accredited immigration representatives. After leaving a career in the corporate world, Cesar embraced nonprofit work with a deep commitment to supporting immigrant families. He shares what led him to this calling, how he navigates the challenges of legal advocacy, and how education, trust, and long-term connection can open doors for families pursuing citizenship.Through Cesar’s stories and insights, listeners will hear how Know Your Rights outreach, citizenship classes, and legal support are more than services—they’re bridge-building tools. You’ll also learn how Cesar balances compassion and professionalism in a field where the stakes are high and the path forward isn’t always clear.Whether you’re curious about how immigration legal work is done on the ground, interested in advocacy, or simply want a human face to the systems that affect us all—this episode offers an inspiring look at what it takes to build new paths to belonging and stability.🎙️Hosted by Ashley Juricich, Director of Communications, and Javier Hernandez, Communications Coordinator, at Catholic Charities of Northwest California.—🔗 Learn more about our work: https://ccnwc.org📌 Subscribe for future episodes💜 Follow along as we keep building bridges—together.#BridgesWeBuild #CatholicCharities #CCNWC #NonprofitLeadership #CommunityImpact #LoveForAllSupport the show
