This case presents multiple operations challenges in a non-profit social services setting, with a focus on immigrant worker rights. The case includes paid staff, volunteers, and executive leadership facing breakdowns in services to clients, legislators, advocates, and others. This is an excellent case for applying process-flow analysis in a social impact setting.
